There's no real "why" to my angle, more a case of "how". How did that poor bloke end up getting hit. Sure the video shows him getting clobbered by the Fiat that is clearly being driven too fast and in a dangerous manner for the environment its travelling in. But when you look at the 5 seconds...

Braking is one option, the other is to swerve. With the speed / distance / timing involved, the Fiat driver probably barely had time to lift off the accelerator before hitting the taxi - when faced with not enough time to brake to avoid the collision, instinct will cause you to swerve. I have...

Whoa, don't get me wrong here, I'm absolutely not trying to divert any blame away from the Fiat driver. My point was that the Fiat driver MAY have decided at the last split second to swerve round the corner to avoid hitting the taxi. Key point - excess speed by the Fiat was the root cause...

Some great debate on here - top work NSC I'm reassured that several are very clear about what should be done if you happen to be first on scene - DR-ABC is the now recognised approach for what they call emergency first aid. However, and this is an observation more than a criticism [as was my...

Agree with pretty much everthing above - horrific ! Couple of points from me: 1/ Got a £40 dash-cam for Xmas - hope I never need to depend on it but after several close shaves where it would have been my word against someone else - the power of video evidence is the best witness statement...
