Unhealthy these motorists, aren't they?

"Apparently the driver had a coughing fit and slammed on the
accelerator instead of the brake," she said.
"The lollipop lady was escorting a number of kids across the road at
the time."

Lucky that it was not a cyclist, of course.

Why would a cyclist be crossing the road with a lollipop lady?

Most fortunately, according to the report, "it understood that no-one
has died" - that means it won't have to be taken into account in that
supposed 'simple incredible safety record'.

I assume by the use of quotation marks, means that you are attempting to
claim that overturning your car in such circumstances is not a terrifying
experience?
I think that this claim, and you calling him a dopey ****, confirms that is
exactly what most normal people would perceive you to be.

Self pity after putting nine small children in hospital is a telling insight into the man.

That's quite a telling insight into the mind of a true psycholist.
Normal people don't think like psycholists do. It would appear from your
thinking that psycholists would do *anything* to deflect blame from
themselves, and bugger the consequences for anyone else.
Thanks for confirming our suspicions.

What should he do? Flagellate himself? or would a simple suicide suit you

and what about the cyclist?


Anyone with a shred of decency would express regret for his incompetence putting so many kids in hospital. Do you see it simply as collateral damage?

Luckily no cyclist was passing at the time.
