Lots of calming purrs and prayers for you. Other drivers try to intimidate
women drivers especially if its their (the other driver's) fault. Good thing you stood your ground, but I don't blame you for being a bit apprehensive. Jazz & his mama Thanks guys. I do think he was trying it on to intimidate me into giving up on getting his details. He picked the wrong woman for that one ;-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune **$om $ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |

I'm so sorry to hear this.
Lots of calming purrs and gentle hugs, -- Polonca & Soncek "dirtylitterboxofferingstospammers" wrote in message ... Last night I was driving Herman and whilst stationary at a junction where I was waiting for a gap in traffic to turn left on to the main road. Fool in Audi came up behind. He then drove straight into the rear of my car... Said fool in Audi said it was my fault that he drove into the back of my car as my car was stationary... Said fool refused to exchange details snip |

He then drove straight into the rear of my car... Said fool in Audi said it was my fault that he drove into the back of my car as my car was stationary... Said fool refused to exchange details (as is required by law) and insisted him driving into the back of my stationary car was not his fault but mine. Luckily no-one was physically hurt, but I was getting a tad worried for my own safety due to the aggressive manner of the Audi fool. So I phoned the police and gave the registration mumber of the Audi. It took that to get the guy to give me his details. Obviously he's never read the Highway Code as regards leaving space between you & the vehicle in front. Grr! I hate jerks who can't admit fault. I mean, I've done dumb things in traffic too, but while I am legally not supposed to apologise, if its my fault (or mostly my fault) I try to let the other driver know that I know its my fault (if that makes sense). Lots of calming purrs to you. Hope he gets charged with neg driving and not giving details as well as having to pay your insurance. I remember one time I came out of a shopping centre to see three big guys around a sooped-up "doof doof car" (if you have any stereotypes about how they looked, youa re probably right) which was parked next to my car. I drove a "girls car" (ie, a hatchback) and immediately sensed trouble, so I hurried to get into my car and get going. I didn't make it, and they accused my of marking the doof doof car with my door. But they weren't real smart, and they picke dont he wrong person that day. First of all, I asked them where my passenger was, since if it was my car at fault, it would have been my passenger door. Apprantly the saw my "friend" get out. I was travelling alone... And then they claimed that they saw "her" do it. Well, I know that said doof doof car wasn't parked there when I pulled in (how often do you get two parking spaces side by side in the prime spot?) And then *showed* me the damage. The damage was indeed pretty bad. Not only was the paint marked, but the door actually dinged. Troublewas, since they had a black car, the colour of the offender's paint was quite clearly red. I drove a white car. Time for some counter bluff. As you might know, I am a paint chemist. I don't deal with car paint, but hey, the knowledge is similar. "Thats red paint, I drive a white car. If you do a pigment analaysis you'll probably find its an inorganic/organic hybrid, in siliconised polyester acrylic blend, with a UV resistant overglaze and a zinc-phosphate containing primer. I am paint chemist, I identify such marks for a living. Using that, and hte height of the mark, you are probably looking for a red Mazda sedan, from July 1990 to october1995. If you really think a white, 1984 toyota hatch could make such a mark, you'll need your own paint chemist and a court order." I watched as their mouths hit the floor, smiled politely, and went on my way. Drove around the corner, and cried my eyes out. I was scared ****less. Yowie --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Last night I was driving Herman and whilst stationary at a junction where
I was waiting for a gap in traffic to turn left on to the main road. Fool in Audi came up behind. He then drove straight into the rear of my car... Said fool in Audi said it was my fault that he drove into the back of my car as my car was stationary... Said fool refused to exchange details (as is required by law) and insisted him driving into the back of my stationary car was not his fault but mine. Luckily no-one was physically hurt, but I was getting a tad worried for my own safety due to the aggressive manner of the Audi fool. So I phoned the police and gave the registration mumber of the Audi. It took that to get the guy to give me his details. Obviously he's never read the Highway Code as regards leaving space between you & the vehicle in front. Cheers, helen s Calming purrs to you. If I remember correctly it is always the other driver's fault if he runs into the back of you. I'm glad you weren't injured. I got whiplash when this happened to me, and it took almost two years to get rid of the pain. The whiplash took two days to come on, apparently this is typical, so don't say you're not injured yet.
