Not much point in doing otherwise, I suggest.

Do you believe in good luck?

No. Luck is an interpretation put on an event or outcome by someone. It may be regarded as unlucky if, for instance, it pours with rain on your wedding day. But it is just down to what weather systems are doing on that day. There is no special reason for it, influence from anyone, or it being payback for something you've done.

Similarly there is no reason to suppose some people are lucky or unlucky for any reason. You may be regarded as lucky if you won £10m on the lottery but it is simply statistical and someone has to win. Pure chance.

The silliest concept is inanimate objects being lucky or unlucky. Rabbit feet, charms, or whatever have no influence on outcomes whatsoever. How could they?

No I don't believe in Guardian Angels or any other kind. You were lucky thankfully - it sounds like a horrible accident.

I don't believe in guardian angels. OP I think it was solely your quick reactions, that enabled you to walk away from an awful accident with only minor injuries. Hope you are making a good recovery.

No I don't. I think you had a lucky escape and that is all there is to it

Wouldn't have made a difference to my accident - no one else involved, just a slippy road, so if I had have been doing 10mph faster probably wouldn't have walked away so easily.
Everyone can choose for themselves if they believe or not, and I choose to believe!

You haven't understood, have you. Read my post again please. If you were driving 10mph faster for the whole of that journey *you would not be in that place* when the RangeRover overtook the lorry. You would have been somewhere else, maybe several miles further on.

I think what mgdavid means is, for example, when you get offered a great new job or if you've got a good figure or if you go on a once in a lifetime trip and people say "aren't you so lucky" but actually its more your actions/behaviours which have led to these things happening.

Thanks, exactly that :beer:

I do believe in guardian angels, I think some people have more than one.

But then I do believe in some sort of spirit afterlife, mediums, ghosts etc all that sort of thing - but then I've had many many experiences in life that has given me the privilege of knowing there are things we cannot explain in this 3D reality.

So did your guardian angels help you in the crash? we'll never know, but quite possibly :-)

Wrong accident, this is not the OP, this is someone who had an accident on a slippery road.

When i wrote this yesterday i was under the influence of co codamol. Taking 2 of them every 4 hours is a bit strong for me and i spent most of yesterday sleeping :rotfl:i'm now only taking 1 of them. Whether or not guardian angels exist or not will remain unsolved. Personally i dont believe in them, but give me 2 co codamol and i do lol. Its a very comforting thought though thinking you have a guardian angel and i do have respect for people who believe they exist.

In other news the police caught the driver of the range rover and i now have their insurance details. They are fully liable for the accident so i should recive quite a nice payout for my car
