The story is i got ban a bit ago so i'm having to depend on my mate for lifts to get about.
Going to Harrogate tonight, 2 mins from my house an old gimmer in a G-reg golf waited until we were 50 yards away then crawled out of a junction, as we traveled at 50mph (60 limit). The driver of the golf made NO attempt to get out of the way or stop and yes you guessed it we hit him on the rear passenger side.
Or car(52-reg corsa) went up about 6 inches as we impacted, then we got forced into the kerb and we rolled over.
I took a few seconds to asses the situation, my friend(the driver) was shouting what should i do. I told him to get out of the car and call 999 as we were blocking an A road with no street lights. I got out to see the old gimmer in the golf doing a U-turn, so i ran over in front of his car and shouted STOP. I went to his window and asked him what he was doing he replied 'just seeing if i could drive it home'(the rear wheel on the golf was at a 45 degree angle and locked in the wheel arch). Then i asked him if he was pissed, the old man was insitant driving home!
So my friday night sucked eggs, how was yours?
