Lushcannon 10 #1 Posted August 14, 2019 I was on the Parkway last night at about 6.15 when I saw the aftermath of what looked like a pretty serious accident between 3 vehicles near the Catcliffe turn off..The vehicle that looked the worst off was Meersbrook Construction Company's van.I just wondered if anyone knows if the driver -and possible passengers-are ok.

ads36 205 #3 Posted August 14, 2019 tricky bit of road that - uphill slip road, onto uphill section of NSL dual carriageway. it's not exactly steep, but it does lead to *some* vehicles doing little more than 40. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That`s not ironic, quite the opposite, though the term appropriate isn`t quite right under the circumstances..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No, they were travelling too close for the speed they were travelling at. Given that damage would, most likely, be less at a slower speed, it does not matter what speed you are travelling if you are too close to the vehicle in front there is the potential for an accident Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Fine. I will stick your leg in between two vehicles and roll the rear one towards you at 5mph. Do speak up when it starts hurting.

Do speak up when it starts hurting. The Parkway is a dual carriageway so it’s vey unlikely to have many pedestrians wandering about on it, and even an anorexic smack head would struggle to get their leg into a 1” gap between two cars.
