Life in the Slow Lane: "....back and to the left" A record 3 accidents passed on the journey in today. Most spectacular was the small non-de script hatchback that was shunted off the motorway, across the hard shoulder, through a dividing picket fence and then sitting proud on a small grassy knoll (no assassin was spotted). Two large continental juggernauts seem to be involved. The "Lone Juggernaut" theory doesn't hold water, when inspecting the damage to the vehicle. It was clear that the majority of damage came from IN FRONT of the driver and a second vehicle must have been involved to create the damage to the side and rear. This is, of course, you support the "Magic Juggernaut" theory, which would involve one impact to the rear at 68mph, a 67 degree swerve forwards to the right and the a 14 degree glancing impact travelling left and finally a 180 degree turn at 127mph to hit the hatchback head on.
