Collision involving two cars, South Croydon, 03/09/2010

[luckyyellow70]

Unless I'm mistaken I think that's Aberdeen road.

[bladeboy2041]

Pity the driver of the silver hatch didn't stuff it into the drivers door and wake them up. Thing is, it looks as though the dark car that failed to give way is completely unmarked. How many times do drivers such as those just flee the scene?

died he died?

1.) Troll fail

2.) Spelling fail

3.) Overused comment fail

I think that's the Aberdeen Road/Heathfield Road junction. I cross it every day on my bike. I presume the driver of the black car was daydreaming.

0:32 lol that van says Gaybank

[OKTOTYRONE]

I like how the other car just drives on.

[probrs]

Ive just started using a helmet cam myself for my short journey to work...its amazing how bad driving standards are these days. Funny thing is, ive had bus drivers see my helmet cam, and their driving is a lot more courtious and they give me loads of space...just a coincidence??? Mmmm

[markhorneyuk]

shame the silver car didn't stop, at the speed the black car was going, there would of been lesser damage to the vehical and the black car would of had it's fair share damage.

[gitrdonedavid]

That's why i never swerve you hit the idiot so he can't drive away and your stuck with pretty much nothing but a big repair bill and a ticket.

[srjone]

All I can think of - glad no-one was on the pavement

[heatshaq34]

silver car didn't seem to brake?

[markhorneyuk]

@heatshaq34 , don't think he thought of it, guest his eyes was straight head, till he saw the corner of his left eye the black car pulling out and his reaction was to avoid it, thus pulling right, straight into the church wall.

[dronespace]

bloody hell hope they were okay

[AlexA1ex]

Did the silver car even brake? It looks like that could have been preventable or at least less of a crash.

[fleetwoodsucks]

jesus christ where do these people get there licences? That guy in the blue car is a total twat and needs a good thumping. The guy in the white car shouldn't have swerved

[jamiehasnomercy]

Gaybank what the hell do they DO?

[chriscartoons]

hahahahahaha well funny!!

[Zildjian285]

Have you given the video evidence to the silver car driver so that he/she can use it incase of any problems with insurance payout?

[bhelpurii]

Looks like the tuareg hit the rubbish clearance truck

[koko56]

what the fack!

[HLaB75]

Oh ya beastie! Touch wood I've only saw a crash once that was when WVM shot on to a Rab straight into the side of a Volvo, damage only though.

[WheelyGoodFun]

Christ. Let's hope they throw the book at the driver of the dark car. That was appalling driving. What was their explanation when you spoke to them?

[JameyCam]

@WheelyGoodFun I think because no-one was injured the police said they were going to leave it to the insurance companies.

[Saighton]

@JameyCam fucking lazy wankers sometimes, the police - no breathalysing of the 'blind' driver or whatever? I can't see any excuse for that.

[Mathewmartialart]

@JameyCam which is simply saying they can not be arsed even though it would be classed under dangerous driving and undue care and attention.

[TVismyopiate]

@JameyCam lazy fucking pigs as usual in rough inner city areas, as they are not strong enough to deal with the mental load. But they get paid to do so, the hypocrites.

[TVismyopiate]

@WheelyGoodFun being born in the ghetto, probably. No excuse. They could have been on a bike if they were desperate to get around, but we have a stupid car culture that even ignorant, poor drivers feel entitled to enjoy. Pity their feeble minds. Oh and keep out of their way, of course!

[PoliceMadAd]

Looks like you were in the right place at the right time.

[atomboy83]

Huhh, it's awful. If there would be a cyclist or a pedestrian... :/

One of my relatives was killed by same accident, she was the pedestrian. -_-

[gaz545]

bloody hell that was some strange driving from both drivers.

[NWLondonerCyclist]

Ok the black car was a twat for pulling out like that but the way the silver car reacted was worse IMO. I like the way the silver car does NOT give a f*ck about anyone else!! See how much he swerves!!! He could have hit/killed anyone!!!

[JameyCam]

@NWLondonerCyclist To be fair, I think the guy in the silver vehicle was intending to swerve around the dark car but then the dark car just still kept on crawling even further across the road so he had to try to turn up the side road instead and didn't make it.

[2FlatErics]

This just goes to prove that it is not just cyclists who are victims of SMIDSY. How on earth can the black car ever say that he did not see the silver car? The driver must be blind or an idiot.

Did you stop and give your details as a witness and let them know it was all on video?

[JameyCam]

@2FlatErics Yes, I did. Plus I gave a statement to the police.

[WienerUBahner]

Oh shit! Always when I'm sitting in a car, I'm fear of those collisions....

[ATeam125]

did the other car drive off?

[mrcellophane99]

@ATeam125 - not if Jamey spoke to both ! Although it does look as though he is about to.

[JameyCam]

@ATeam125 No, but it did look like it. He just sort of ambles along without stopping from the moment he pulls out until the moment he pulled over. It was weird driving.

[downfader2]

@JameyCam He's prolly the kind of driver that proudly states "I've never been hit in the car, I'm a great driver!"

:-0

[TVismyopiate]

@JameyCam STONED driving, I bet.
