Mercedes test driver "pushing" car off in fatal accident
Quote:
which opens the discussion about the testdriver for Mercedes who "pushed" a young woman and her child of the Autobahn A5 last year. He just got sentenced to 21 months in prison, serves him right IF he really did it.
According to the papers a Merc testdriver was doing 250 or so, approaching this woman who was doing 100 and a bit. She then panicked and drove off the road killing herself and the child, he is deemed fully responsible for her accident.
So, be warned if you're one of those who like to approach like a ballistic missile and brake hard to within 10m distance, if the person in front of you have a bad accident you'll end up in jail! Considering how some people on this forum who I know drive this could very well happen and this is NOT a joke, this bloke really will spend the next year and a bit in prison.
