Careful At That Next Intersection...

[Priestley]

My dad borrowed my car to go to work last week (his was at the mechanic), unfortunately another road user couldn't tell the difference between red and green. On the plus side my dad walked away with only minor injuries.

I'm thinking about getting a Toyota Chaser to replace it depending on insurance costs. Does anyone here have comprehensive insurance on a JZX100?

Lucky there wasnt a passenger... I was hit in a similar situation, we were going under the speed limit so it hit just infront of the A pillar, lucky for the passenger.

Not going to be loyal to the RB and get a Stagea?

holy shit dude!! that is a massive hit. I hope the other driver gets severe punishment.

Holy shit! Luckily there wasn't a passenger, they would have been killed. Also incredibly lucky that your dad was relatively unhurt. What speed did they hit at?

Makes me think of earlier today.

I was sitting a an intersection on a red light behind another car, with my mate driving behind me.

The light went green and the car infront of me was a bit slow to take off, and as he started to get going a Semi went flying through the intersection!

Just makes me think, I could have just witnessed someone being killed; or had that car not been there, my best mate probably would have watched me get cleaned up by a truck.

[MUZT3K]

wow...fkn lucky as hell...that would of given your dad a shock and a half..his a lucky guy i tell ya

[Mayuri Krab]

Holy sh*t, glad at least his ok.

I almost got hit on the side 2day as well, due to some stupid idiot in a POS doesn't seem to know that you suppose to stop & check for incoming traffic & give way to them when approaching a T-junction.

Thats a fair old bit of damage to that car. Don't think it will buff out.

Glad everyone was ok.

[Rekin]

holy shit thats crazy. Poor R33

I had a similar story, waiting at intersection to cross 80km/h road. Was at front, lights went green but was keeping eye on traffic on the intersection. Could see one car still going 80km/h and didnt look like was going to slow down.

Car behind me started beeping at me to move off but I still stayed at the green light. Next thing the stupid lady realises its red for her, jumps on the brakes and skids through the intersection stopping infront of my car.

If i went when it was green or when the idiot was beeping at me, I would have been cleaned up (drivers door too at 80km/h)

Lets just say the car who was behind me beeping at me avoided coming next to me at any other lights haha

Chandler and Cheltenham Road, always one hero flying through the red light heading towards dandenong, i've nearly been hit twice, miss's nearly once.

glad to hear all is ok!

It's already been said, but faaaark. I'm really happy your Dad's alright, obviously could have been much worse. Poor R33

The other driver... What an idiot, I wish people would pay attention on the roads.

[iseekool]

That's a nasty hit.

Good thing you dad walked away OK.

As a habit a always look both ways when the light turns green especially on high speed intersections (70km/h+). It has saved me on a few occassions.

[brat81]

YEOUCH bad luck

Glad you old man was ok.

How is the person that T-Boned your dad?

damn that's lucky...

same thing happened to me a few years ago, i slowed down for a few seconds to change a cd and when i looked up a gold falcon flew through a red @ 80+ missing my car by about 1 metre....

now i slow down and check even at green lights

glad to hear your dad is ok!

[adznight]

Wow - BIG hit. Hope the other driver gets the book thrown at them. I have no time for pricks who run red lights, seems to be all to common these days. I saw a guy sitting a a major yesterday just take of and drive straight though a red. Muppets I tell you.

Geebus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im glad your dad is OK - thats a huge hit.

RIP 33
