Stupid other drivers
Just pottering about and calming down after a wee bit of a fright!
I went to go pick up my brother's girlfriend from the bus station tonight, and I was driving back, chatting as you do, when a car came screaming out from a side road, and past the side of the car - it must have been inches away from us, and doing at least 70-80 miles an hour.
I had a moment of 'was I not looking? I didn't see it, was I not paying enough attention', and then two police cars came in hot pursuit, followed 30 secs later by a third. Someone's been a naughty boy...
We were talking about how lucky we were - another 30 secs either way, and it would probably have hit us, and the speed it was going, it wouldn't have been pretty...
So, we were a bit shaken, but ok. However, I will be having chocolate tonight!
Also, am glad I'm not having to tell mum we're having to claim on her insurance - it's bad enough as it is, after the idiots that went in the back last year!
