Yesterday as i was driving home, a stupid ******* wit in a holden dunnydore pulled out in front of me from a side road then proceeded to stop lining her door up with the front of my baby girl.
Hit the skids closed the eyes and turned the wheel..... lo and behold the car steered me around her so that i stopped just in line with her front end. i was travelling at 80k's and i still cant beleive i didnt hit her. amazing stuff the ford has with safety features. amazing!!!!

I'm assuming the subject title was a joke?

Good to know you made it!
A woman in a large 4WD did the same thing to me once and I'm lucky there was no one in the lane next to me to swerve into otherwise I would have went right into her. As I drove past, I could see the terror on her rear passenger's face. Don't know the driver didn't see me in full daylight from such a high position. Too busy talking with her passengers I reckon.

I recently had an incident with a little pizza delivery girl in her getz, pulling out of a T-intersection whilst I was going straight through. Obviously in her own little world though, given it was at night, my headlights arent easy to miss....
Further goes on to prove how idiocy (or driver error, to be politically correct), may *actually* be the reason behind accidents on our roads. As opposed to what is propagated by the ones we pick to rule this country. As for something related to the thread title, well I guess the accident i had a few years back is testament to that... |
