Post Re: hornage
Lets face it folks if a motorist can pullout in front of a full livered police motorcycle with lights on and with the rider in full dayglow yellow jacket.and say" sorry I'didnt see you "what chance does anyone else have ? The female driver was not prosecuted as not in the public interest !!!! I was very intrested with a dislocated shoulder. Funny thing is I'd only been back a few days when another female drove straight into the back of my bike,whilst I was waiting to turn right and had been stationary for a couple of minutes.You start to think that someone is out to get you :-)
The really funny part was when hubby turned up and says look what you've done to our car!

why do people always pull out in front of 2cv,s they always do it to me aswell :evil:


Not just 2CVs, as people often do this when i am driving my Fiat panda (original shape), but thats mainly because they don't expect the thing to be so fast :lol:

Back in the 90s, when I drove my girlfriend's Mini Metro I discovered that people weren't just rude, they actually tried to force you off the road! They had a point, I suppose, but I have to say that driving Metros was great fun... they were like go-karts!

Had many a chat about adding one of these to a car - would be difficult to due lack of boiler in the majority of cars...

Off our SNB (Edit: Steam NarrowBoat) called Emily Anne - can't really appreciate how loud this thing actually is
