 Post subject: So close!!!!!! |
 |
|
Travelling down the M655 today back from Hest Bank in Morecambe. We were in the outside lane, travelling along at a steady 70 mph when some pillock in a citroean saxo pulled right out,  Musn't have looked in his bloody mirror, all I saw was a car coming right at us, Chris slammed on the breaks and swurved the car in to the central reservation, thank god it was one with space and no kirb.... but the idiot could have killed us, a collision at that speed would have just hit us off the road !!
Some people shouldn't be allowed on the road, I was so mad I wanted to follow him and tell him what he had just done as I am sure he was just blissfully unaware in his own world where no one was on the road but him ! The *&£!!!!!
Anyway rant over thankfully due to the quick thinking of my husband we are still here safe and sound but we were both very shaken afterwards !
Hope your all well Lea x

Glad you are both ok Lea
My hubby says that i am jinxed when on the road and he is adamant that all the idiots meet at a certain spot and drive around when i am on the road because everywhere i go i meet complete "$$%s but i am so used to it now.
You are right in what you say though i dont know how a lot of them are capable of passing their test the way that they drive around!!!! |

Hi Lea,
So pleased you are both OK and hopefully not too shaken.
No matter how careful you are you cannot get away from the idiots !!!!!!

Glad you are ok, sometimes you have to drive and think for the other drivers on the road

Here you ALWAYS have to think for other drivers on the road.
Glad you are both ok.
When I read the title of this thread I thought you'd almost won the lottery

So right Jenny, personally for me driving here is not a pleasure at all just a necessity.  |
