not to be a willy, and im glad you are all ok...
but drive a little safer in future keep your distance, its not good to crash so often... even if you feel pedestrian is at fault, remember you should be in control of your car at least...
read other thread about Stupid Pedestrians...
glad you OK...

Unlucky, it's not easy to remember simple things like keeping your distance if you're following a friend and concentrating on that. I do remember now as my friend very much values his car and shouted at me for following so closely ^_^ (I wasn't really that close). Actually thinking time distance is more important than breaking distance, the brakeing distance of the cars is likely to be identical, the time it takes to think "oh my I better use my brakes", is the distance you haveto leave (quite alot really) , since most modern cars have ABS or traction controll brakes are very very unlikely to lock . When the road conditions or tire conditions are comprimised (and the mue of the road decreases) then I guess brakeing distance increases.
Anyway enough of that tot, hope the car isn't too damaged and you don't haveto pay too much exess.

ABS FAULTY- I took my car to the local dealership they said my abs was faulty was actually bot 2 cars lengths behind her but u dnt expect someone to stop out of the blue when u are doing 40mph and i didnt see the person stood in the road
Stopping distance at 40 should be 9 car lengths according to the highway code, although I know that's a bit out of date now really. Just glad cars and people weren't hurt.
Just glad cars and people weren't hurt.He never said it was!!!
Sorry to hear about that Laura, sounds like you're ok though so I hope that it gets all sorted out.
Quite a few things can go wrong with the ABS really... faulty sensors etc, my dads had that on his honda recently.
People will look at threads like this in different ways. Others will point out the obvious, because lets face it, its obvious you shouldnt drive close. Others will be sympathetic, others want pics of the damage etc. People look at things and comment in different ways.
If laura was that embarrased knowing she was at fault, she could have not posted this thread in the first place but im sure she expected to read comments like that. If she's cool with it, you should be too!
