ALMOST HAD THE GOLF WROTE OFF!
« on: 03 October 2004, 00:42 »
just pulling out of a junction accross a main 3 lane road and some speeding twit flew straight through the red and came within inches of taking the front of my car clean off! I dred to think what would of happened it I hadden't locked the brakes up.

There were like 10 cars stopped at the lights just staring with open mouths. It doesn't half shake you up that though.

I'm never running a red again! At least when I do it's accidental and I'm not speeding.

grrr, twitS  >:(

Scairy ain't it?

I had a close call with about a month ago (Also in Cardiff. I live there, Ha ;)) with huge truck pulling a trailer.

I was heading towards a green light at a junction, only doing about 25mph and a car heading toward my direction turned left (his right) at the junction, but there was no problem with that as the gap between us was fine.  But the lorry behind looked as though he was only creeping up to turn after I passed.

We were about 15 foot apart when he decided to turn.  I SHAT MYSELF, hehe.  Anyways I turned away from him screaching to a halt and looked up to ask what the fook he was doing, only I couldn't see him because my face  was only a few inches from his bumper.

I started laughing my head off probably for the fact that I was still alive, so when I reversed and he saw me laughing, he started laughing too.  So there wasn't a bad word from either of us.

Some mad drivers round here me thinks ;D
