INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH COURSE

Prošao sam kroz crveno svjetlo jer nije bilo nikog na raskrsnici a meni se ž urilo. I ran a red light because the intersection was clear and I was in a hurry. Sudar je izazvao neznatnu štetu na vozilu – nekoliko ogrebotina na suvoza č evim vratima. The crash (has) caused minor damage to the vehicle – a few scratches at the passanger’s side door. On nikada nije u č estvovao u saobra ć ajnoj nezgodi, č ak ni najmanji sudar. He has never had a car accident, not even a bump.

Mjerljivi/materijalni troškovi sudara uklju č uju troškove popravke i osiguranja. Tangible costs of a collision include repair and insurance costs. Vaše vozilo nije u voznom stanju, a svjedoci su potvrdili da ste naglo zako č ili. Your vehicle is not in working order and the witnesses confirmed that you hit/slammed on the brakes.
