judging by th picture it looks as if the police maybe be on the left hand side of the road
I would hope that at least one of the cars would have been on the left hand side, we drive on the left over here ………………. don’t we ?
It’s very possible that the accident occurred in one of the many narrow sections of Parsons Lane (making it one lane).
This was what all all units was rushing to yesterday, smh. Talk about waste with 3 marked units responding to a fender bender, wow.
Maybe the police man/woman was on there phone and not paying attention.
yeah cause looking at that picture the police car is clearly at fault. If the police car was any closer to the side of the road it would have been in the trees. You’re an idiot. oh and by the way it’s (their phone)
Maybe Shakey my aching head should be entered into a spelling bee. Learn the difference between there, their and they’re.
If you look at the picture better the police car is on its side which is the left side of the road the private car if you look at the steering wheel on the peugeot its on the right side of the car so the Peugeot is on the wrong side of the road
Driving the grey car – same bye that smacked the back of the parked truck at the airport last week?
