Taxi Driver Online

The map is wrong. It says "here be dragons" in the bottom left corner.

Wasn't the Selby culprit a resident of Lincolnshire?

Do you recall when six people were killed in a crash involving four lorries and a minibus on the A52 in February 2006?

There were bodies scattered across the road with several people injured and body parts littering the carriageway.

Five people all believed to be migrant workers in the minibus and one lorry driver died.

The crash was caused when the minibus driver attempted to overtake an oil tanker and a second lorry.

The minibus was unable to get enough speed up to pass the second truck, so what happened? The minibus collided head-on with a third HGV, belonging to Hovis.
A fourth lorry then ploughed into the back of the Hovis vehicle.

Surely you remember that or is that part of the A52 not in Lincolnshire?

The crash happened close to the Nottinghamshire border, between the villages of Sedgebrook and Bottesford, at about 5am.

Grandad, do us all a favour please and remove that map link, its distorting the thread.

Its an A road

The clue is in the words, "the bodies were scattered across the road."

What part of Lincolnshire is Selby in?

Considering that is all he wrote I couldn't very well respond to anything else. However, it had already been established by Jimbo himself before I responded that there are no Motorways in Lincolnshire and I did actually research that before I posted. So he is 100% correct.

I hope that clears up that little matter.

It isn't in Lincolnshire and I never said it was but my recollection is that the driver who fell asleep a Mr Gary Hart, resided in Lincolnshire. Is that right?

Lincolnshire has one of the worst, if not the worst, accident rates per head of population in the country. The accident on the A52 was within sight of the Notts border. The two named villages, one in Lincs, the other in Notts, although I fail to see the point you are trying to hammer home, JD.

The point I was making about motorways in Lincolnshire was how statistics can be manipulated to prove anything. No motorways=No fatalaties.

And the accident you mention was one of many in the county every year caused by stupid, reckless drivers. Most accidents here are caused by idiots driving on the right, whilst the rest of us drive on the left. Old habits, die hard. I suppose if they had been wearing seatbelts it would have kept the corpses in their seats, though.

As you only ever ask a question you are already confident you have the correct answer to, do you really need me to answer?

Gary Hart lived at the time in Strubby, I believe in Lincolnshire. Your point being?

Actually it was just one of many accidents I came across when I researched the non existent Motorways in Lincolnshire. Compared to the other accidents this was quite bad. There was mention of a particular black spot but I suppose you have quite a few of those.



I suppose you are right and that is why I asked for specific accident details n another post. When people start comparing every type of death on both Roads and Motorways including both vehicle passengers and pedestrians they should bear in mind that the public don't walk over Motorways except over a bridge but they do have a tendency to walk across roads.

Cybo if you pay that you will be mugged all they do is give it a dam good blast down the road and that cleans it out, I asked a mate who works for them

From my understanding the service involves replacing the filter, refilling with a chemical and resetting the ECU, of which I'm told the later can only be done by Peugeot.

Chick out the PIG owners club, someone said chop the filter out of the exhaust and the thing runs better and still passes the smoke test

Maybe we need to think again about our various seat belt views.
