A bit off and on, thread....remember driving like a lunatic and had a zebra crossing coming up, must have been doing..ahem, a bit over the speed limit..a young girl then decides to cross when I was about 10 metres away.....I hit the brakes hard but skidded with feck all chance of not hitting her.....then the car pulled to the left and that was the only reason that I didn't knock her up into the air and kill her.
It made me think.
Five years ago, driving along Brockley road in SE London, saw a drunken bum and his equally drunken bird, swaying in the middle of the road, about 100m away. An oncoming car hit him doing 30+ and didn't stop.
The bum was knocked about 15m, hit the deck on my side of the road and didn't move. Girlfriend started screaming and doing the headless chicken thing.
I stopped in front of him, put the hazards on , got out, took one look at his still open eyes, which were now filled with bright red blood, and knew that the impact had killed him.
Did all the 'clear airway/feel for pulse, look at his chest for breathing/etc', just to distance myself and to get the training and procedures going....but like I said, I just knew that this fella wasn't coming back.
A passing nurse came over and after a quick debrief, I just left it to her, which she was happy to do.
He died pi55ed and instantly, which in the great scheme of things, is better, IMO, than dieing scared.
Here's the song to shut your eyes to for the last time.....mentions about dying 'with a little bit of cocaine on the side' to ease the passing.
Just saying like.

Bits of the cars that are set-up to steer to the left and off the road in case the driver is gash enough to nod-off at the wheel, left there by the Highways Agency as an example to others. May also include bits of fuel tank and crash bars from the sides of artics. And roadkill.
