Edit: Wrong pics

YES!!!!!!! As someone magically picked the out they are from Pickles, was down there earlier this morning on a separate enquiry, I thought I was odd cause I remember the BMW badge.

Oh dear I feel like a complete idiot now…… I’ll get the proper ones out and load them up

ahhh but stretch, just because you're going to help doesn't give you permission to break the law...you'd have been screwed if something had happened to you or your car while going through the red light, I doubt your insurance company would have covered you. Emergency vehicles have insurance at a high premium to cover incidents that occur when they proceed cautiously through a dangerous area (through red lights), and they base that on the fact that you've had training, and are ensuring that it is safe to proceed etc.

Yes I was fully aware of all that, though we had a red light but the vehicles turning right into the on-ramp had completely stopped because the car was blocking traffic and it was safe to proceed. Bad judgement call on my behalf now that I look back at it your completely right.

Been there and done that training ï

Stretch,

That pic of the Commodore is a VY SS and it looks like it's taken at Pickles Auctions....easy to tell as it has a sticker on the windscreen on the drivers side.

Are you sure that's the car involved this morning?

Sorry Tom, you were right those pictures were from Pickles I was there today on a completely separate enquiry.

I didn’t think just found the VY SS Commodore and the next picture and ‘presumed’ they were from the smash hense the reason to the first post being a BMW then I stood to be corrected NOW I WAS RIGHT FIRST TIME!!!!!!!!. I’ll post the ‘real’ ones up later after I find them, these cars in mention have been towed up to the back of Wangara.

Okay someone shoot me now; I feel like a complete prat!

Love the well worded news. Ran in the back of a sudden braking car. In real english doesnt this mean "Following the car in front too closely ".

oh i hate people that brake then indicate!

The number of people around here that do it is ridiculous and even after the number of times i have high-beam flashed them to show my distaste they continue to brake sharply, indicate, sit in the middle of my lane & then turn.

Is it still your fault if you hit them if you can prove they are morons?
