If only to Thank God.....
Def not a religious thread, but I just wanted to say to everyone on the forum to thank the God of your understanding daily for your loved ones.....dont take them or the time you have with them for granted. My wife was in a car accident here in Jersey on Tuesday where our Volvo flipped over 5 times, and she walked away. Another woman involved in the accident flipped over too, and she walked away as well. That phone call I recieved at work that morning could have gone a whole different way, and so could the conversation I had with my kids that evening....
Just a reminder, dont go to bed mad....dont leave the house without an I love you and a kiss. Dont take anything for granted.....life is, and def can be....too short. A second can change your life forever.

The best advice I received after my wedding earlier this year is to never to go to bed angry....and I live by it.
I'm very glad everything turned out okay. Last edited by HellRaZoR004; 11-01-2013 at 07:46 AM. |

.....not to be too nosy...but what caused the flip-over? .... a front tire blow-out....an over correction in steering....combined with too much speed or something? ..... falling asleep at the wheel? .... great to hear that all is non-injured but what happened to cause the flip-over?

Glenn, glad to hear she is OK. That is a very scary thing for all involved to go through.
To those of you asking what the cause was, is it really any of your business?

Thank physics...
I've been to many many roll overs and it's almost always the same. The occupants are either critically injured or they are sitting on the guard rail with only scratches. Usually, the deciding factor of life or near death is seat belts. Partial ejection, because of no seat belt during the roll over, are the main cause of fatalities. In my experience, those occupants don't fare well. Glad everyone was OK. Wear your seat belt! Last edited by PaugusBayFireFighter; 11-01-2013 at 08:20 AM. |

Truly glad your wife fared so well. What a scary experience for you and for her. It's remarkable that both she and the other driver walked away. Hopefully, when the dust settles, you can replace one Volvo for another. Sounds like a life saver. And, as you said, never go to bed angry.

Also glad to hear she was OK after an accident like that. I concur that being angry gets you nothing but being angry. Holding a grudge or holding anger is just plain non-productive in any situation. So yes hold your loved ones close and never take anything or anyone for granted.

Glad all parties of the accident were able to walk away ...
To your point in the Thread ... We learnt that lesson as a result of my wife being a two time survivor of breast Cancer !! It's amazing how your priorities in life change !

I don't think FLL was looking for any fault At All. I think he was just asking what caused the accident. In Life..(I have 72 years) If you don't ask questions..You will Not LEARN anything. If you don't learn anything about the cause, ...Well.. then the accident was in vain....ie: For Nothing. Just Sayin.. NB

There was a brief stretch of time in that period that we didn't have a Volvo. My husband had a truck for business, and I wanted a car that would hold six people, so we had a 1991 Lincoln town car. My 18-year-old son fell asleep at the wheel doing 70 on the highway. He hit the guard raii in the front, woke up, overcorrected and spun around, hitting the guard rail again, but with the tail end of the car. Yes, he was wearing his seatbelt. The car performed exactly as it was engineered to do. The passenger compartment was intact, and Danny was unharmed. The rest of the car...notsomuch. The back end (that massive Lincoln trunk) was crumpled to about 12 inches from rear window to rear bumper. We do love our Volvos, but like Paugus Bay FF said, "Wear your seatbelt!" Glad to hear your wife is fine, Glensteely. Thank you for the reminder that we should live each day like it's our last.

www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_cars is now owned by an industrial company in China as of 2010, but still built in Sweden. When Volvo-Sweden sold its car division to Ford back in 1999 or so, it took the 5-billion dollars or so and bought Mack Trucks in Allentown, PA., so if you want a safe truck that will keep you safe in a roll-over, then maybe you should consider a Mack www.macktrucks.com

True that Volvo's have a great safety record but nothing works without your seat belts. We were returning from Fla last April on rt 75 near Sarasota when we came upon an accident scene. A new Navigator had apparently rolled over violently right in the middle of the highway because clothes and luggage was scattered for several hundred feet in all 3 lanes. Next to the vehicle was the driver who appeared to be a man in his 40's, laying dead in the road after being thrown from the vehicle. There were no other vehicles involved so there was no way to know what caused the accident.
Glad your wife had no serious injuries and was smart enough to belt up. |

Wife had a XC70, LOVED it. It had a very nice, solid feel to it when the doors closed. All kinds of safety features were included too. We too had to buy something that could tow but we wish we still had it.
A couple of years ago in Manchester I saw a Volvo sedan getting pulled out of the median strip. It was upside-down and a tow truck righted it as I was creeping past. It didn't even have a cracked windshield. |

seat belts
Even though in the state of NH it's legal for adults to chose it's the first thing I do when I get in, even if I'm going across the street.

YUP ! I use a clothesline, and I do not have a navigation system either. I happen to love paper maps. Also, I ALWAYS use my seat belt......they saved my life one time. Thank heavens that everyone survived that truly terrifying accident ! Good luck with the car shopping.

As a nurse, I could never understand people's refusal to wear seatbelts. It's one thing to "Live free or die" but it's quite another to refuse to use common sense.
So many fatalities are linked to unrestrained drivers. Which leads to another favorite rant of mine...the lack of a helmet law in NH. |

In the State of New Hampshire, wearing your seat belt is required by law when driving any truck or bus that requires a CDL driver license, and it is a violation not to be wearing one, and one can be stopped and ticketed by the local or state police. This is because it is a federal law that is in effect in all 50-states including NH.
So, in the State of NH, while it is illegal to be driving a Mack Truck, built by Volvo of Sweden, without a seat belt, it is perfectly legal to be driving a Volvo automobile built by Gelley of China, without a seat belt. As you may know, I believe that New Hampshire is the one and only state that does not require seat belts to be worn in a car driven by a someone 18 and older. The State of NH loses several million dollars every year in federal funds for the NH-DOT or something because of this lack of a mandatory seat belt law.

The US Dept of Transportation and the NHSTA both provide grants and funding-for various Highway safety Projects and under the SAFETEA guidelines Primary seat-belt laws are required for the State to be eligible to for applying for the grants. The information can be found in the Federal register when the various grants a re published for application. It may be a reason for rejection of a grant application. Dont know if that is exactly what you guys are talking about but as someone who wrote grant applications for my agency albeit in Massachusetts I do know that Seatbelt Laws are a requirement for some funding sources. Hope that helps

...the price of a paper newspaper.....for one dollar the Union Leader has twice the content of the Concord Monitor, three times the Laconia Citizen, and maybe 25% of the Wall St Journal or N Y Times which now cost 2.00 and 2.50.....the Union Leader is NH's biggest paper and they write articles about widening Route 93 and how the state is short the money, or do an interview with Bill Boynton, the director of the NH-Dept of Transportation...

Here's a link to seat belt use http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea..._United_States and will try to dig up a link or two that determines financial loss to New Hampshire by not having a mandatory seat belt law. Looking at the map, NH stands out, all alone, in the color green.
Hallelujah......this link actually works!

Just think about little New Hampshire which has a compliance seat belt usage rate of just 72.2% according to the link .....and that's the lowest rate of use in the country ......http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sea..._United_States ... 72.2% ..... that's not exactly something that does anyone any good in terms of public driving safety....it means more visits to the hospital emergency room ..... the hospital ..... and the morgue ....... plus the ambulance service .... by more drivers and passengers.....right here in N.H. ....a usage rate of 72.2% .....lowest usage rate in all 50-states ....right here in N.H.
It is rather interesting to notice that neighboring Massachusetts has the second lowest usage rate of 73.7% seat belt use, and Massachusetts has a mandatory seat belt law for adults above 18-years unlike New Hampshire. Have to wonder why Massachusetts is so low ..... after all ..... 73.7% is pretty danged close to 72.2%. Hawaii, 97.6%, and California, 96.2%, have the highest rates of compliance. Has anyone ever had the opportunity to hide themself inside a refrigerated cadaver drawer down in the morgue, and then surprise an unknowing medical examiner by sliding the large drawer open while entombed within ..... jumping out ......and shouting ..... helloooooooooo......surprisssssse ........I am alive! ... ...thankyou Mademoiselle El Seatbeltaux! ... ... no....probably not....it just don't go that way?

Well... to answer the nav question.....
Im just not big on navigation. My wife and I both have Tom Toms in our vehicles, and our cell phones both have great apps for navigation......both of which,we hardly ever use. The premium sound system in the XC90 is unbelivable, the same that we had in the S40 that was just totalled. Subwoofer, center channel, full surround sound, not super loud, but distortion free at high volume. Crystal clear. We wanted that same sound system, with the navigation, it is a different unit, one we were not impressed with. We went to a drive in movie here in Jersey one night, and we were suprised to find out that they broadcast the sound on a FM station....(instead of the hanging thingees for your window)....(am I old, or what?) anyhoo, that movie, in surround sound, cranked up in a drive in, was awesome!! So, we left out the nav, but we got the rear seat entertainment system....with full surround!! The kids love it, and it came with wireless headphones too.....so we love it with Nemo (1000 watches) and cinderella (1000 watches) ect....ect....ect.

Seriously.....
Thank all of you that have wished us well over the last couple of weeks. We really appreciate it. We were blessed, that my wife, Robin came out of it ok, we were also blessed to be kid free at accident time!! We were blessed to be driving that Volvo, and even more blessed to be able to buy another one! I hate to be or act religious, we go to church, but we are far from bible thumpers.....but, when God steps in, and changes the way or outcome of a situation, well lets just say, give thanks where thanks are due......if you dont believe in all that, thats cool too!! No harm, no foul. My biggest point in all this, is.....dont take anything for granted. It might not be here tomorrow. Thats it.

Glenn, so glad to hear that the outcome was good for your wife! My brother was in a near fatal car accident 12 years ago... Getting that phone call is one of the worst experiences anyone can ever go through. Blessings on you and your family! I hope she's enjoying her new car and driving in style!

I couldn't agree more. I have a factory installed NAV in my car and I use the portable Garmin more.

You are so right
I am glad it turned out ok for your family. You are so right that you can never take for granted that there will be a tomorrow. I am here in Jersey also, our roads are killers. I turned more grey each time one of my children started driving. We are moving up to NH soon, as my husband says where they drive courteously lol.
