Title: bloody cement mixer !
Post by: knighty on June 15, 2006, 00:50:11 AM
driving back to work in a van after picking some stuff up.... a bloody cement mixer came round a corner a bit quick.... just where theres a car badly parked on his side... so he goes around it, but im coming the other way....

his the breaks hard and hit my left hand wing mirror on a lampost... he hit my right hand mirror and for a second I thought that was it... till the van starts bouncing around as his back end rips down the side of the van :(

even worse, as i was getting out, he was stopped, stuck his head out the window and looked at me, then drove off :(

no name on the back end and I was too slow to get the plate :(

good job it was the old van we use as a spare so I can forget about it... would have been pretty pissed off if it was one of the nice vans or my car :o

Im quickly loosing what little faith I had left in other drivers.

My personal gripe is bus drivers where I live.

Bus is stationary, at a bus stop. The bus indicating left so my assumption is that it has just pulled in. I move to pass it and the f**king wankshaft of a driver pulls away while Im along side....no change of indication...nothing.

As it happens a quick jab on with the right foot on the power gets me out of harms way...but I was still really annoyed!

Ã, 
Buses really annoy me.

I know they alledgedly have priority according to the Highway Code but indicating is an intention to pull out, not "I will pull out the split second I indicate...

Jock-straps, tbh.
