Safe Speed Forums

Sister has provided me with this scan.





She knows the area. She supports the councillor this time. Condolences to the family is all I can say.

One thing though - no mention of "speeding".. I was not there but the poor chap seems to have died by tragic fate and perhaps a small error which proved tragic for all than anything else.

I do feel for them and will support their quest for justice.

"Changed lane", "swerved" and "hit curb" are the clues I think.

We have two possible immediate causes...

1) Low attention allowing the vehicle to drift into the curb and the curb caused loss of control leading to the big impact.

2) Coarse steering leading to skidding leading to hitting the curb leading to the big impact.

I can't see any reason for the sweve - but an animal would make sense. Most likely seems low attention - possibly sleep.

Lights? Nah. Speed? Nah.

4AM on Sunday morning - had he been out all night - might have fallen a sleep.

I did it myself once years ago at about the same time of day/night. Woke up when my car clipped the curb.

I think perhaps your're right. Fatigue leading to loss of attention seems likely. Whatever the cause - thoughts are with the family concerned.

This was my second fatality that night, in a short space of time let me put it this way lighting conditions had nothing to do with it, obviously i cant comment but dont believe what you read all the time.

at 445 on a sunday morning my guess would be recreational drugs (legal or otherwise).
