I used to own a i30n and I'm still on the group pages, and seen this guy, doing what was necessary to get his car up and going, fair play to him, he never begged for things, and seems a top bloke.

[@McfcMancs]

Great ending, glad we got to see him with a smile on his face again. Calvin, you are a great man…we need more Calvin’s in this world.👏

I've been on the road 49 years and taken several occupational licences , don't let one bad egg spoil your fun mate. Retired and still clocking up 10k a year batting between Lancashire and the Jurassic Coast....it's in my blood. Great news you're keeping the motor and staying positive.....respect 👍

Absolutely love this guy - so humble and genuine. Wish him all the best in getting this car back on the road and actually driving in it, with no more incidents! Much love. xxx

Is it just me or can we now say this car has just hit legendary status in terms of giveaways snd builds? A great story. Richard seems such a nice guy and whilst the crash was a downer Im glad its coming good now. I knew Dazza would be involved again....it makes sense.

I get that he looks at driving differently after being in a accident because it was same for me after I was in a accident in passenger seat of a friends car… for years I was petrified as a passenger in a car. I remember going to work in a Nissan cabstar pick up truck with my dad driving and I was thence and holding on for dear life until I got out. Yeah so I understand my guy and how he feels. One thing I can say is it will get better….

[@kevinjohnson1958]

I'm a HGV driver and this is unfortunate. Dominating both lanes is a choice by the HGV driver who regularly uses that road, this action upsets many car drivers not realising they're currently being protected from loosing their pride and joy.

[@richardlahiff1529]

Cheers bud.. I still believe he was distracted in the cab and didn’t do the required checks before moving over… worst thing is he could of gone down the road about a 1/2 a mile and came back then turned left and everyone would be happy.. 😔

Always thought it was like an unwritten rule to not drive up the side of Wagons when they’re turning or on roundabouts, especially when they swing/cut lanes abit. Hope it all gets sorted anyway

[@richardlahiff1529]

Nope.. sections 184-190 of the Highway Code covers roundabouts.. It’s as per as I described in the vid for large videos..

[@joecolclough3775]

@@richardlahiff1529 I said unwritten rule, my dad was a driving instructor for nearly 40 years and always told me not to drive on the inside of Lorries on roundabouts and tighter bends due to blindspots and their tendencies to cut lanes when turning. Unfortunate situation though and I hope you manage to get it all sorted and it’s back on the road soon, seem like a really nice fella with some unfortunate luck👍🏽

[@paulmarine5055]

Did he just say he was in the overtaking lane for a roundabout😂

[@MarcBirks]

Also said he's a "professional" driver.... 😂

[@TheDarkSib]

The right lane is known as the overtaking/fast lane. Doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to overtake on a roundabout.

[@paulmarine5055]

​@TheDarkSib, the lanes proceeding a roundabout are there to ensure you are in the correct lane for your desired exit, not for overtaking you absolute dunce.

[@TheDarkSib]

@@paulmarine5055 You're not very bright, are you? As I said in my initial comment, the right lane is known and referred to as the overtaking lane because according to the law - that is what you're supposed to use it for. Hence the term, drive left pass right. So when he said that he was in the overtaking lane, he was not saying that he was going to overtake in an intersection, he is saying that he was using the RIGHT lane when the accident happened in the intersection.

[@harminderkambow9642]

I really feel for the bloke and he seems like a decent guy, but when he said he doesn't have much luck with cars, he has to look at his part to play. Regarding the accident on the roundabout, I would always hold back if there's a lorry knowing full well that they may need to cut across the lanes, regardless of the size of the roundabout. The lorry driver may have been at fault, but the chap could have been savvy and be cautious and saved himself the heartbreak.

Just a note HGV’s are not always on Mid insurance database like a car would always be especially if a hire unit where the insurance would be covered by the operator and there own drivers there is nearly no circumstances where a class 1 driver is not insured unheard of get the number plate report it and you will find there will be insurance in place or that vehicle would t be on the road huge huge fines for operating licence holders for not complying
