Hello there folks -
Was finally compelled to join the bloggers today by the sheer rage of having my car written off by some bearded muppet in a car. There I was, innocently driving to work at 08.50 am, turning left from St James Road into Lansdowne Road. There he was - a stationary vehicle stopped sideways in the opposite lane. I had just turned a corner and had only just noticed him when I was upon him. I continued onwards expecting to pass behind him, confident that nobody would reverse at this point into the opposite lane without looking, in the same way that I am confident that nobody would randomly attempt to headbutt the front of an intercity 125. As we all know when you are undertaking a three point turn you are supposed to stop and look at each point of the manoeuvre before moving. I know this very well as I failed my first driving test on the three point turn and was given this exact reason as the cause of the failure.
What happened next? Lo! He reversed without looking. Not just a little, but right across the road, the fucker. He hit my drivers door and kept coming! I naturally swerved in an attempt to avoid him and smacked straight into a lamppost. He got out of the car and we swapped details - and he actually said "I didnt even see you". Yes mate, that's fairly obvious. You need to be actually looking out of the car window to acheive this.
Now I have no car - and I love my car! It's my bloody first car. Now, even if the insurance people find in my favour all I'll get is a bit of cash - but certainly nowhere near what I paid for the car, and I'm temporarily skint and so not able to get another.
GRRRRRRRR.
