Angry Taken out by a lady...

Well, nearly. Silly biatch didn't check her mirrors, blind spot or indicate to leave a large and quite quick motorway roundabout and almost took out the front end of my car Forced me to duck down the same exit as her (which I didn't want resulting in me being late for w*rk) in a cloud of tyre smoke and gravel as the ABS shuddered the speed off my car Pulled alongside and expressed my disgust at her wreckless stupidity and the oblivious state she must roam around in, blissfully unaware of anybody elses existence and the seriousness of the situation she very nearly caused. Got the old stare ahead and pretend they're not there routine. In these days of sexual equality I'd have been well within my rights to stop her and plant her one, 'cos if she'd been a bloke that's exactly what I'd have done.

There, spleen vented....and calm.

Go to the police station and file a complaint about dangerous driving. I did and some idito who nearly killed me one day did the same thing a couple more day in the same month and the thrid time the police had obviously had some other complains and decided to ahve a little cvhat wiyth him and not had any problems with him since

Unfortunately in the heat of the moment I didn't get their number. Smacking someone in the teeth was top of my priorities until I clocked the blonde I considered stopping her and asking for her license and keys and pointing her in the direction of the nearest bus stop though

Couple of weeks ago I was going pretty fast along a country road only to suddenly find myself confronted by a little old lady pulling out of the well hidden driveway of her cottage.

Braked hard enough for the back end to step out (controlled it ok),yet she seemed blissfully unaware that there had been a car coming at all !! Didn't bother gesticulating - thought I might wake her up !

I still recall the time when a woman yakking on the mobile amongst the usual office-bound 9 to 5ers driving her desk (well, it may as well have been) home from work, and entered onto a roundabout as if it didn't exist....not even a glance to her right for oncomming cars....
...which was a problem as thats where I was, now you'd think the screeching of tyres and the sound of a horn would be enough to make her glance over and realise there is a humungus Jaguar within a foot of her driver's door...but oh no, she puts the phone down and carries on oblivious... I took the same exit as her and stayed alongside her on the dual carriageway for a mile or so to see if she would even hint at looking to her right so I could give her my "evil" stare, but unfortunately I was unable to get her to see the full wrath of displeasure embroiled upon my face.

Oh well, I'll just pent it up until the next victim crosses my path

If it was a few years back I had a car with some minor front damage and was just waiting for an opportunity to plough it into someone to get them to pay for the repairs Might fit some bullbars to the Skoda

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!


This may be becoming an unlucky car

Sat at the roadside with a client today talking them through the right reverse manoevre when we hear some racing high speed engines. Look ahead to see one of those stand-upon mowers used to trim the verge coming at high speed, with the drivers mates in the transit one inch (and I am not exagerating) behind him laughing and enjoying themselves. I looked at the gap between me and the car parked opposite and thought, OH NO ! I reached out for my mirror to try and save it but chickened out, prefering to loose a mirror than an arm. They must have taken a layer of wax off, but to my amazement didn't hit it. My rear bumper didn't fair as well though. There was a scraping noise and the car rocked. I leapt from the car and went after them, catching the mower guy who'd pulled in to trim a verge, oblivious to what had happened behind him. The van drivers were away and around the corner. He told me they were all part of a crew and they'd be waiting for him around the corner. I ran back to my car and went and found them, informing the driver that he'd not see the day out with a job if I had my way. 1/2 an hour later their gaffer arrived and was very polite and appologetic, advising me to visit a local bodyshop with whom they have a contract and all would be sorted for me. When I filled him in as to the happenings he assured me that they would not be in employment by the end of the day. Thankfully, the damage is minor, with just a few scratches which will easilly buff out and a blow over will see it right.

Just mulling over whether to report them to the Plod for dangerous driving now

I was rear ended by a lady in the wet when I braked for a junction.

I got out and ranted at her for 5 mins until I realised she was crying..

.. we exchanged insurance details and the car was fixed as it was a company car

A mate of mine got caught out by a dozy tart at the Burnaston roundabout (A50/A38) a month back . She pulled out right in front of him, he swerved to avoid her and clipped her front wing (which turned out to be providential as this proved she should've waited). After hitting the wing he smacked into the curb and destroyed his off-side wheel. THIS caused his car to completely flip over. I use the word flip deliberately as roof was completely undamaged afterwards.

So, if anyone around the Derby area was held up at the time - now you know why.

Oh, and she's contesting responsibility.....
