Guitar God Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think they meant 10m from road to the bottom. Note to self: Make sure the wife's new car has a rear camera, AND it floats.

steveyinasia Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Distracted by the children….buckle their ass's into the back seat and not allow them to stand on the seat, jump about the inside of the car. That should stop the distraction. Next we can address the ability to control a car 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Glad she and the kids weren't injured of killed. The flippant remarks fail to amuse. I read the article and wonder what I would feel had this been my wife and kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My ol' 760 estate was the most stable road car I ever had, it sat at 100mph a very happy motor. That looks like an 850 SW, not worth crying for. Volvo went downhill after the 7's, I had a few 1&2-series myself. Excellent tractors, my 142 had over 1M km on it.

Halion Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 From reading the data available there is nothing "Accidental" about this issue. She is simple a shining example of incompetence that abounds in the driving community and is in fact a danger to herself ,her family and those in proximity to her when she is behind the wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menorah Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Feel sorry for the Volvo........... Must have a heck of a lot of air in those tires to sit that high in 10 meters of water, or perhaps it is floating. The 10 meter water depth must be a mistake. If that narrow klong were 10m deep the sides would be sheer and prone to continually collapsing, unless re-enforced with steel or timber shoring! No doubt a local resident 'guestimating' for the newspaper. As for the car tyres, they're probably inflated to 45 PSI minimum, or whatever pressure gives the appropriate sound when the treads are bashed with a stick....Thai style !

DefaultName Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 If she cut in front of a truck, both were clearly moving forwards. How could you do that, then reverse into it, while going forwards? Possibly; "woman cuts in front of a truck, truck driver is annoyed, accelerates and rear-ends her, knocking her into a canal"? It seems to fit better.
