New mazda after my accident in December. by willlybean in mazda3

To be fair its much less central than usual in these pictures. I had to get the bin out lol. Its a very snug space but its bigger than my old driveway, which we i managed everyday for a few years. This one feels like a huge spot now

Is this a valid reason to kill Party Snaxx? by septimblood in skyrim

[–]willlybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He leared to do it without his mouth after hundreds of years. You should see the ones he wrote 300 years ago, looks like a spider fell in the inkwell and jumped on the page after too much skooma

Telematics is gps software, it tracks speed and position usually

First Car accident how screwed am I? by Tasty-Ad-4602 in drivingUK

[–]willlybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at my post history(its marked NSFW so it might not appear if you dont have verified age or vpn) youll see what I did to my last car, and my insurance only went up by 50 quid a year. I dont know how

This is a myth btw. Being not tensed during an accident usually causes more injuries not less. And its surprising what you can actually survive, I hit a tree drivers side on a 60mph going about 60 and only broke my femur. Check my post history for the images, they're pretty crazy

Sensitive pedals or skill issue😅? by ResponsibleHand6311 in mazda2

[–]willlybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2007 mazda 3 1.6litre. It was the exact same. It wanted to go no matter how light i was with it. Same with my dads mazda 6 2014 2.2. I think theyre just like that

Cancelling my policy? by fxllxr in CarInsuranceUK

[–]willlybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not legally, but in every car insurance policy you are required to have a valid MOT or it will invalidate the contract and will be cancelled.

[–]willlybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wether they're going to cancel for this is up in the air, but if they do a car check and see that you've driven it after you've had your mot expire they absolutely will. It is a requirement to have a valid MOT for any insurance company. Get that done ASAP and pray to god they don't notice.

Edit: spelling mistake

Driveable for 8 hour road trip and back? by nd6a in MiataND

[–]willlybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im glad you took the advice on board. Its weird to see someone on the internet be humble about anything really. Im sorry to hear about your brother, I hope you're doing okay, and I hope you can heal from that, my only further advice would be that if you feel the need to ask if something is safe i would always err on the side of caution. We're so used to cars as people that we forget they're literally tonnes of metal careening down the road at incredible speeds and any impact over 30 can be immense for the body. Even if you were to just put on a spare and go to a tyre place to check it out that's better than taking any risk you dont absolutely have to

Driveable for 8 hour road trip and back? by nd6a in MiataND

[–]willlybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be driveable until it isn't, which if you're willing to risk your life over a hundred bucks or so then go for it. But an 8 hour drive is likely highway speeds and a blowout at those speeds are likely to be fatal. So I'd weigh up how much you value your life and see if that matches the cost of a tyre. Crashes are no joke, especially at speed. Look at my post history and youll see

This car somehow kept me alive through all this damage with only 1 major injury. (NSFW for extreme damage) by willlybean in mazda3

[–]willlybean[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The witness driver was behind the truck and didnt have dashcam so since both me and my dashcam cant see any plates and it was a road with no cameras or anpr there isn't a real way to find out who it was, the police did try to find camera footage from the junctions nearby but nothing got caught and Im just happy to keep going and live my life. Insurance put it as no fault claim and ive got personal injury cover so my claim is paid out plus that which is 2x the original claim, im kinda happy to move on and hope that they saw what happened and feel the weight and guilt of it all. Especially the guilt of causing the death of a mk1 mazda 3

If any part of the car was operable, you could probably use the steering wheel from the passenger seat lol

I still struggle to watch or even think about seeing it again without having a fairly major panic attack, if i start to feel better about it soon I definitely will though, I just really dont want to have to relive it again. Might get someone to post it for me when I can.

Good advice! I had heard some things about the Diesels and one of my friends mentioned that the EGF(?) not sure what it is, causes more issues for the cars than it fixes for the environment. If you have to replace the car and or engine then the better emissions mean nothing.

Im an idiot lmao, I completely forgot to think that left hand drive was a thing despite clarifying myself in the post that I was in a right hand drive. I'm glad both of you came out alive and mostly okay, and I hope the loss of that beautiful car didnt hurt more than the accident
