a Volvo almost killed us.

O.T.? we were slowly getting the old T-2 thru the green light when a Volvo s.w. ran the other light at about 30 mph. we are still shakey. It was that close. if we had the cappucino we might moved a little faster . ah, drugs!


Nothing to worry about :o) I had fixed a 77westy that was involed in a head on collision with a Volvo year back. The driver of the westy walked away the volvo driver was hospitalized for a short time but was fine. Buses seem to do very well against Volvos, theres even a video from the Euro motor vehicle safty commision showing a Vanagon against a Volvo but don't remember the link.

That's cute but nowhere near true. Drive as if your life depended on it. Colin

I practice "defensive driving" because I motorcycle . I use protective coloration . Being visible goes a long way. People don't want to hit you. Reminds me of a story. They gave a NYC cabbie an award for a perfect driving record. his secret? He expected the un-expected. He even look down one-way streets to see if some one we going the wrong way. Ya know they wouldn't have a stop sign.
