Bleeding Numbnut!

[Wireless]

Ok, dropping the Disco off at the Garage for an MoT this morning, I'm driving at 15mph through a tight, narrow, and twisty hamlet on a country road generally less than 4 metres wide, with variable width, you know the type, the verges / hedges aren't straight, with the road frequently narrowing to single track.

Anyway, this woman in her fifty's is driving some bleedin great MPV, and is more intent on turning right at the T-junction than realising that a Disco and MPV won't fit side by side on the road when she's finished the turn.

So we brake to a standstill, with our off-side mirrors four inches from striking each other.  Now I have a line of traffic behind me, so I can't go anywhere, and I'm already with one door mirror buried in the hedge on the nearside, but she has nothing behind her except a reverse around a blind bend.  So what do you think she does?

Yes, thats right, she drives forward, breaking her mirror against mine, which folds flat, and she reverses back, and then starts shouting at me for the damage I've done while sitting there with the handbrake applied...

Luckily, the stream of cars behind us is full of witnesses, and I gets out and take the details of everyone, comes back to her and says, 'I'm willing to exchange Insurance details, but everyone saw what you did and is willing to back me up if you make a claim', she declined to exchange details, but I wrote down her registration anyway, my car is undamaged.

What a bleedin numbnut!

Make the insurance company know of the incident.  She deserves to pay the penalty.  :twisted:

I never cease to be amazed by these people - there are a few back roads near me which aren't quite wide enough for two cars to pass and the number of times I've had some stubborn <edit> keep ploughing on regardless is astonishing. I've even had complete nitwits overtake me while waiting at a wider bit for a truck to negotiate the next narrow section.

At least with a Disco you won't be damaged when they hit you! :lol:

The fun season is about to begin when we start moving the combine.  The number of people who ignore me in the landy festooned with flashing lights, only to have to dive for the verges when they meet the big red monster, is amazing.

Same here last week, advisories were rear brake pipes and a steering swivel which will be sorted next month (apparently not urgent, just likely to need doing at some point).

Must of been the weather....

Spent 10 mins stuck in the lane near home behind a doddery old women in a honda jazz who couldn't fit past the bus. Now what got to me was that there was a 8 foot gap between the hedge and the bus, then the resulting 115 point shunt to get into the gateway, then the fact she had the wrong lock on and almost in frustration managed to drive into said bus.

How some people have a driving license i don't know.  :roll:

I was shocked by a BMW driver!

I'm doing the speed limit along a main road with nothing behind me. Woman (had to be didn't it - bloody stubid woman!) in a 07 BMW estate pulled out in front of me, cutting me up and then procedes to do 45 mph. Needless to say, I did get a bit close - I was doing 60 mph and she had cut me up. I then had to follow her for a few miles untill she turned off. As she turned left, I over took and I got the third finger!

Had one a few weeks back - waiting at a junction, about twenty metres away from which is a zebra crossing. Someone starts to cross, traffic stops, and I take my chance to pull out. Only to get flashed headlights and a two-fingered salute from some moron in a Skoda. He was coming to a halt anyway, why did it matter that he did it before blocking the junction rather than after!
