It's just funny that she's skidded into a river and still talking about what a good driver she is.

And no, not doing anything when your car is headed for the river isn't being "a good driver".

And what is the correct option she should have taken in this situation ???

The parked car, the lamp post, the child walking down the road, or should she have stepped on the brakes ??? come on what should she have done ????

Well, obviously the child. It works for bus drivers, it must work for BMW drivers.....

Actually, come to think of it, probably hitting the parked car would have been preferable to dunking a car in the drink......

The old little lady - with diabetes 1 - pushing the pram with her granddaughters baby along the Avon... of course.

You are lacking imagination - even when JM isn't.

And today - world first drive-through video store in Hamilton...

Something nefarious is taking place, I wonder if the government is involved.

I came across a guy in the Kawarau gorge in a ute with a tandem trailer on.
He'd hit black ice, spun around 180 and ended up with both the ute and the trailer in the water table upside down and facing the way that he'd come.

He told be that as soon as he hit the ice he took his hands off the wheel and turned off the ignition.

Is this right course of action?
Is this from extra-super-mega-awsome advanced driver training?

In that respect they're no different than NZ motorcyclists

Either that or he should have concentrated on driving rather than fricking around with the mat in the car while doing the bays - which are notorius for windy, narrow roads above water!
