Default Calming purrs please


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

There are idiots everywhere, I'm afraid. I was once driving down a divided
6-lane street. There was a long line of cars in the left lane; I was in the
middle lane. I could see police car lights flashing up ahead in the left
lane. There had been an accident and the police were working the scene.
All the traffic behind them was stopped. Just as I approached the end of
this line of stopped traffic (I was in the middle lane, remember) I watched
someone drive right into the back of the last stationary vehicle - which
caused that vehicle to be pushed into the one in front of it and so on. One
idiot not paying attention turned this into a multi-car accident. There
wasn't anything I could do. But as I passed the police officers up ahead I
rolled down my indow, pointed back and called out, "You have another one!"

And yes, what happened to leaving space between you and the vehicle in front
of you? It irks me no end when I'm stopped for a signal and the person
behind me creeps right up on my bumper. Sometimes I feel like issuing an
invitation, "Would you like to come sit in my back seat?" LOL

Purrs you're okay and feeling more calm now. Also that the Audi fool was
issued a citation (and he has insurance to pay for any damage).

He's clearly not fit to be on the road, it's arrogance and aggression like
that that makes the roads dangerous You did the right thing in calling
the police. Here are some lovely purrs from Cav, who is a happy cat today
because the sun has come back.

Thanks Jeanette and Cav :-) I'm calmer this lunchtime, but am so annoyed at the
other driver took. Looking at Herman in the cold light of day, there is some
damage at the rear, so tomorrow morning he is off to the local Merc garage to
be properly inspected to find the full extend and cost of damage. Audi driver
will then be chased by my insurance company, methinks. He will not be a happy
bunny!
