I was killing some time and came across this

Luckily no one injured or hurt but looking at photo's if anyone had been in a car it would have been a bad news story

To say the driver was shaken is a bit of an understatement. luckily no one killed.

Oh god no, just from seeing the pictures. I've had my fair share of accidents and I can only imagine how the driver is this evening. Anyway nobody hurt. Lots of brandy for the driver.

Was it loaded ?

Wow! Some damage!

That first photo is the perfect answer to the question "Is it OK to leave my child in its car seat while I just pop into the post office to get a stamp - the car will be in my sight at all times?!

That's true! So what would be your answer to the question:
Is it OK to leave my child in its car seat while I just pop into the post office to get a stamp - the car will be in my sight at all times?
I still think the first photo is a perfect answer to that particular question!;)

And you needed a photo of a crash to get your answer ??

2 kiddies burned in a car 10 miles from hear when I was young, parents left them in car and went back into house to find something, returned to an inferno.

Eh I think you're getting the wrong impression! I would never dream of leaving a kid in a car!
But when [other] people keep asking the question or when others state that they do leave kids in the car - I think a graphic example, a picture, speaks a thousand words!

Kids should be layered in bubble wrap and not left outside the house. And breastfed until 18.

Or maybe no trailer brakes to begin with.

That'll open a whole new can of worms. Tractor on road accidents are a rarity I believe but when one does happen, like the one in tipp it makes headlines. I know our yokes wouldn't pass any test but they're not used on road.

systems fail.

look at the BA boeing in Los Vegas. A system failed.

You will always have people jumping up and down after accidents looking for this and that.

you need a safepass and a special ticket and cpc now to take a piss in this country, but only after you carry out a safety statement and have a method statement also

Muckit · 11-09-2015 03:47PM

I remember back in the day when the parents would leave us on occasion in the car in the carpark, to go in and do the big grocery shop in Dunnes or the likes.

You had to make your own fun. So we used to write little notes like " sorry for damaging your car. Please ring me on (fake name and number)." Then we'd leave it under the wiper of a car a row or two away...... and wait. We'd see the owner coming back, reading the note and circling the car. We Not a mark on the car and he scratching the head. No mobiles in them days.

We were some little toe rags when I think of it. But sure twas harmless fun.

No offence intended but I hate this sort of shiite talk regarding safety..

Construction and manufacturing industries have taken huge measures to improve their safety records and as a result the fatalities have fallen significantly..

Agriculture could be making much better inroads on farm safety and fatalities.. there is no acceptable level. The biggest problem I see is attitude and lack of belief that safety systems save lives.

These are UK statistics but relevant anyway..
