I dont know if anybody else has noticed this but im pretty sure its right.
The other day whilst watching telly, the adverts came on - which i usually half sleep through - and noticed on the Accident Helpline advert - the one where the bloke moans about a load of school kids at the bus stop - that the commentary says he saw the kids and the reversing car slowed down but it was to late BANG.
Have a close look at the driver who allegedly slows down. I dont think so do you. If you look closely i would say he is changing from 2nd to 3rd or even 4th to 5th. Like i say, no wonder he had an accident
