Weird Karma....

[Boggert]

I was at work driving down a road I know very well. It one of those roads you use daily with out a thought, however today was different, For some strange reason I started to think about a RTA that happened on the road... Its not even an RTA I went to and one I had long since forgotten about.
It was where a lad had hit a deer and then lost control of the car, hit a tree and been killed.

At remembering this I slowed down from a normal 60mph to around 45mph, not sure why just kind of did it. I carried on for about 3 miles when I saw a massive red Stag come out of the hedge about 300 yards in front, It paused and looked at me and then moved across the road.

I dabbed the breaks but nothing too sharp, as it wasn't needed, but I couldn't help think, If I had been going 60mph, would I have hit it??

Its just weird that I should think this, slow and then see a deer...

To be honest this is not the first weird thing that has happened, but one of the most striking...

Odd hey!

SPOOKEY,

A freaky story!!!

I know it’s a little off the subject, but are they still called RTA’s or RTC’s? Just having an argument with my Dad!

[SWEETY]

Boggert M8 some one was looking over your sholder at that time :D I think at 60mph you may have clipped it if you were unlucky :roll: I bet it was a nice sight to see a red stag running free :D I ain't seen a stag for years only the odd doe :(

[Boggert]

I'm lucky, where I work is very rural, you see the country side at its best, just lovely. The stag was a massive creature, I have never seen one so big so close up.

As for work... its what ever you want to call them RTA, RTC... I know some forces are so PC it must be called a Road traffic Incident, but not us.

I thought you weren't allowed to call them RTA, as this meant no-one was responsible for the incident (taken from Hot Fuzz).

Hampshire officially call them Road traffic collisions (RTC), I call them prangs, which upsets the control room when I slip into my alter ego, namely that of a WW2 fighter pilot and call up and say "Roger Control, Oscar Delta 52, on scene. I say, ding dong, wizard prang, best we call the bone wagon and water fairies, what?"
They call me insensitive and tell me off for not being in touch with the feelings and needs of the victims. No fun some people!

Spooky things, deers!
me and a mate were on night patrol in Norfolk, and we called  to a report of a deer being hit by a car on the main Cromer road out of Norwich.
So off we went, and on arrival, had a good scout about, no sign of the any deer.
Off we go, and have to turn round to head back due to a call for a burglary in progress.
Blues and twos down the A140, and we pass the spot where the deer was supposed to have been and my oppo says "thats where that deer was supposed to have been" at which point..................
A big deer jumps out in front of us, no option, 85mph, big bang, Mondeo front explodes and my arse eats the seat cover!
The call to the control room was interesting.
"Er, CM3 to control, we've just hit the deer that wasn't there"
"Control to CM3, you are joking?"
"Er, no.................do you like venison?"

In Hampshar, they are called PVI's, Police Vehicle Incidents! I mean, come on, call it what it is! Wretched PC Brigade! Damn you all to hell!

Hope you use a proper comedy style accent too!

Glad were not the onely ones with a darker than black humour!

Sounds ok to me :?  :lol:  :lol:

Driving up near Epping forest (from Waltham Abbey) and the wife says to me "A stag jumped out and ran accross the road in front of me here last week" & as i hit the brakes i replied "What, like this one!" as a huge stag bounded accross the road! Was a very impresive animal,  i was however relieved to have seen it in time as we were in the wifes Zafira and im not sure we would have come of any better than the stag had we hit it!

Cheers

I have hit 2 in my own car... no the job car, one totalled a 1985 MG metro. That was almost 20 years ago when I was 17 and the other was a baby deer and it bent my bonnet and smashed a light.

I’m still a little freaked, bloody glad I didn’t hit it.


For some reason my mates geve me the nick name "Deer Stalker" for a bit! :shock:  :lol:
