Having a car crash can be a very traumatic experience and although we all endeavour to drive safely, they do occasionally happen. We want to be sure that we are driving a car which is safe, even if this happens to be one that has a previous owner. Used cars may have mileage on the clock, but they can often be just as reliable as buying a new car, if you make a careful selection.
Merry Christmas
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11 (King James Version)
Accidents prove to be an opportunity for change
It doesn’t matter if it’s a racing accident or one involving an overcorrecting pickup truck and your garage, accidents can be challenging experiences if you are the one involved. When it comes to the destruction of your vehicle, making repairs can be costly and frustrating. One thing that we often don’t think of, particularly because of the aggravation surrounding the event, is what this can really mean. We don’t typically plan for something terrible to happen to our vehicle, but if it does why not stop and consider your options before just going back to the same old look.

Take time to reflect on the freedoms that we enjoy, and the price that was paid by so many so that we could have those freedoms.
Video: Allô, bouge-toi! Race marshall clowns around on track at Canadian Grand Prix
The guy in the black suit can’t say he wasn’t warned. After last week’s incident involving Sebastien Buemi at a Red Bull demonstration in Japan, you’d think that anyone within earshot of an F1 car would be wise enough to get the heck out the the way when one is coming towards you. But evidently this guy didn’t get the message. Or he just had one too many Labbatts.
Those who were watching this past weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix (once it got back under way after the rain abated) may have caught this, but for those who weren’t watching, it’s a sight to behold. One of the race marshalls, stepping out onto the track after waiving the yellow flag to help clear the debris from a previous incident, slipped and fell. Not once, but twice. In front of Kamui Kobayashi’s incoming Sauber-Ferrari… which is not a good place to slip and fall.
Follow the jump to watch for yourself, and try not to yell berating obscenities at the screen while you do. We dare you.
