"Should have gone to Specsavers!"

Specsavers might disagree

 

[Focus Owner]

Your joking right. Shouldn't have been on the road. Last time similar happened in town up the road from me 2 people died and a 17yo girl lost both legs!

Should be an auto retake of test at 70

That paper has such a sense of humour compared to Cumbrian papers, they take life far too seriously!

Yawn....it was an accident and if it hadnt said "Specsavers" above the doorway no-one would be interested. It happens somewhere everyday. Could have been a rep on his mobile, a van driver spilling hot coffee on his tackle, a teenager showing off to his mates, a middle age man checking out some totty, a mum driving a brat-waggon full of screaming kids thinking about what to cook her old man for tea.....the list goes on. Funny how accidents caused by these people never make the headlines isnt it?
The fact remains........For every OAP that looses control, backs into something and needs a "sit down and a strong cup of tea", 10 teenagers will loose control, roll through a hedge into a field and need a week in Intensive care. Statistically OAPs are the still the safest group of road users there are. Its the Press who seem to think differently.

Thats because there are more teenage drivers to evey OAP driving!

I saw the same type of crash in Exmouth. An OAP setting off ploughed his car over the pavement and into a shop window. The pavement was full of people, it was very lucky that no one was injured.
