The accident was caused..
The accident was caused by me waving to the man I hit last week.
The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
I knocked over a man. He admitted it was his fault and had been knocked over before.
I didn’t think the speed limit applied after midnight.
The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran him over.
I thought the phrase “drinking and driving” meant drinking whilst operating the vehicle.
I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I found that I had a fractured skull.
The accident happened because I had one eye on the truck in front, one eye on the pedestrian,
and the other on the car behind.
In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car.
The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again.
The pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him.
I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
I pulled in to the side of the road because there was smoke coming from under the hood.
I realized there was a fire in the engine, so I took my dog and smothered it with a blanket.
I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough
and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way.
wave [weɪv] machać
swerve [swə:v] gwałtownie skręcić
knock [nɔk] potrącić, uderzyć

Helicopter above Seattle
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical
malfunction disabled all of aircraft's electronic navigation and communication
equipment. Due to the clouds and haze the pilot could not determine his
position or course to steer to the airport.
The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritted
sign and held it in the helicopter's window.
The sign said "WHERE AM I"? in large letters.
People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large
sign an held it in a building window.
The sign said, "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER".
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map and determined the course to steer
to SEATAC ( Seattle/Tacoma) airport and landed safely.
After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE
IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded, "
I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because they gave me a
technically correct but completely useless answer".
malfunction [ mæl`fʌnkʃən] uszkodzenie, awaria

haze [ heɪz] zamglenie
determine [ dɪ`tə:mɪn] określić, ustalić
fly toward [ flɑɪ tə'wɔ:d] nadlatywać w kierunku/ ku
