To feel inconvenienced by a tragic accident?

You really are a delight, aren't you?

She knows it was a car crash. She was referencing the post that mentioned suicide.
Have you read the full thread at all?

It is, but people are still allowed to think of themselves and its human nature to do so. I also say that as someone that lost a relative to a drunk driver 20 years ago, causing a road closure, and as the friend of someone who died by suicide in a way which caused a delay of many hours for some people on Xmas Eve. People are allowed to put themselves first and are entitled to have feelings if they miss out on something because of something like this. I’m sure OP wishes the person hadn’t died, but other than that, life goes on.

I have more compassion in my big toe than some of you have in your whole body.

The only thing I got wrong was the word I used for someone choosing to end their life. Which I apologise for.

I knew how the person died in the original post so stop making things up.

erm…yes??? Someone has died and a family has lost a loved one. I probably would not have posted about this 🤷🏻‍♀️ I assume you’ll get reimbursed for the lack of a trip. Just thank your lucky stars that your coach wasn’t caught up in it and that you’re still on holiday

😂 ok then

I wrote my responses from the perspective of someone who had two family members knocked off the side of a mountain road by a drunk driver in the days before the Heads of the Valleys was redesigned. Everybody died. Some people got held up for an hour or two. No virtue signalling or fake empathy here - it’s a gruelling thing for all concerned, emergency services included, and a delay to plans, even holiday ones, is incredibly minor in the grand scheme of things…

First post always nails it.

Can you re plan the trip

No YANBU. When I worked in London albeit decades ago, a couple of times people jumped in front of the tube in the morning rush hour. People were furious that they were going to miss an interview/be late for work.

Its human nature.

An RTA isn’t necessarily an accident. Someone will probably have been driving like a dick for it to have happened.

Yes you did. And it seems you have had your post deleted because it was a personal attack. It’s funny that the people who try to come across as nice, so often aren’t.

Posting about suicide on here and laughing about it, that’s what’s been posted on this thread, was going to quote, what some posters have said, but they’ve been deleted, for a reason.This has been driven by op’s thread and also the way she’s spoken to other posters.
I couldn’t care less that you’re getting frustrated, that other posters are disagreeing with op and opinions like yours🙄

No I didnt get it wrong. See above 😊.

That was my entire point in the days of modern technology like dash cams + black boxes we don’t need hours of investigations we need the road open. If you don’t want to have a dash cam and someone crashes into you then sorry but it’s doesn’t mean the road should be closed for hours. “Justice” isn’t going to bring them back anyway.

If you are opening one lane you can wave the stuck traffic past at less than 10mph if your car can’t drive over a damaged road surface at that speed it shouldn’t be on the road!

Imagine you miss your sisters or your kids wedding because your stuck in an accident that is going upset you, a missed investigation isn’t even going to register.

I know it was.

We were discussing about the posters moaning about suicide and how it held them up.

Oh dear. You’re asking if people are thick when you have got the thread all wrong. It wasn’t suicide, it was a car accident. And saying.’committed’ suicide could upset people, it’s not the socially acceptable way to word it now. Keep virtue signalling, whilst getting so much wrong though. 🙄

Someone has lost their loved one in tragic circumstances is all that matters.

RIP

@anothercoffeeafter3 you must really like weddings.

@Anothercoffeeafter3 You’re forgetting the thorough investigation that’s needed after an accident as well as sometime damage to the road and road furniture to make it safe for others. 2 hours is nothing!!

Remember the people in the jam may also be devastated at missing once in a life time events such as weddings which can be just as devastating as a death.

Also… what have I just read?! That’s really tone deaf and frankly a ridiculous statement.

It’s a hard one, thousands die everyday, but then a death other than natural causes is a tragedy for the family. It’s the desire to find blame that drives me bonkers after sitting on the motorway for hours. A conviction isn’t going to bring the person back and it wouldn’t provide me any comfort if it was my family. You have the option of dash cams now which would get the whole incident as evidence if you as a person desire anyone involved in your death to be brought to “justice”.

In my head golden hour for treatment/recovery of the victims. Then 45 minutes to move the vehicles so you get at least one lane in each direction gives a maximum acceptable closure of what 2 hours.
