Who is responsible for the damage to my car? I always wondered that.. like would I run (edit: run very quickly) after the cop car and insist on getting their insurance details or do you just call up the Ombusman and put in a claim?

To avoid them we had to drive into the ditch on the other side of the road. Anyway the 2 garda in the car got out of their car and began shooting into the car they just ran off the road.. it was mad i couldn't believe my eyes. The car they were chasing just drove off towards naas. It was madness the garda car didn't even have their emergancy lights on we nearly ploughed into them. because of this. Im very annoyed right now as if we had have seen the garda car even 1 second later we surely would have been dead right now. Don't these guards have to flash there lights when they're driving like lunatics? Madness
ferretone wrote: » No it isn't. The OP and his brother are the object of the garda's action in the title of the post, and therefore the accusative form, as used by the OP is correct. Normal usage dictates that he should have placed the reference to his brother before his own, so absolutely correctly the title would read: "Garda nearly killed my brother and me today." You could also say: "My brother and I were almost killed by Garda today." But you wouldn't say, "Garda nearly killed I." And so you also don't say, "Garda nearly killed my brother and I." It gets up my nose when people use "I" in these cases, regardless of the structure of the sentence. I hear it on radio and tv all the time, by those who should know better.

But it had all manner of lights flashing when we came on it.....and I don't know if they were arresting the guy or searching the BMW when I came on it...just after 7pm. Myself and the missus were just saying to each other if we set off a few mins earlier we could have been caught up in it....and then I saw your post!
