The original video I saw, was not the 'same' as the Beeb one shown on the news. Yes of course it was the same but Beeb had cut some of it out. I saw the small car snaking along the road and then appeared to veer over the opposite side. On Beeb last evening they didn't have the stationary bus drivers commentary. I personally think the bus driver and it was only last evening when it was disclosed as a Lady driver, coped magnificently.
Certainly in the commentary given by the stationary bus driver, I did not get the impression that he thought the small car was trying to do a 3 point turn. Whatever, my opinion still stands, even more so if a 3 point turn was being attempted given the prevailing conditions.
The terrifying fact is motorist were doing all sorts of crazy things in conditions that many should have been home or off the road.
Idiocy was not confined to the road, commuters stuck in a train decided to get out and walk. The particular piece of track I believe it was on is incredibly busy with many tracks. It is of the third rail type. Personally, having been stuck in a train in 1957, the last thing going through mine and others mind was to get out and walk. The train I was on was roughly on the same piece of track. Why was my train held up because signals had gone to red when the Lewisham train crash happened. The passenger train hit by the steam train was either the one before mine or two before mine from Charing Cross. It was a long long walk from New Cross Gate to Sidcup. London Transport would not accept the rail tickets. It is amazing how peoples behaviour has changed over the years.
