I don't know what this stupid teenage driver was thinking. The news report said she was drinking and driving, even though she was actually TEXTING while driving, with my daughter in the car with her! Absolutely disgraceful, and my daughter Emm was KILLED in a car accident as a result of this idiotic behaviour!
I would say the Merc was 100% at fault, although the camera car appeared to be travelling too fast on the straight, they did slow down to a reasonable speed approaching the bend and were almost staionary when the collision happened. If the Merc had approached the bend at a resonable speed there would have been no collision. I would contest the insurance company decision.
Some like it hot KA
