    Only in Bermuda are vehicles able to “colide” with stationary objects.

    A colision involves moving objects.

    What happened to a driver crashing their vehicle into something?

      @triangle drifter, you must be on sumtin or still drifting ……….Walls are stationary, so are trees, utility polls, etc:
      Why is it that when things like this occurs, it’s ONLY IN BDA. Don’t collisions happen all over the world?
      Here us the meaning of COLLISION!!
      An instance of ONE moving object or person striking violently against another or in the case of conflict between opposing ideas, interests, or factions.
      What is sad however, is that a lot of women seem to be getting caught driving drunk and doing serious damamge. Combine that with cell phone use while driving and you get a “A bad cocktail mix”

        @emeka47: that is exactly what triangle is saying, and your own definition supports it, I.e. A collision involves one moving object striking another moving object. If a car strikes an immobile object, such as a wall, it should not be termed a collision.

    kinda sad that the only people who seem to get caught for DUI’s are people who have accidents.
