hhmmmm we think alike young lady;)
Alas, they do it all the time do these vans.
On a side note I was approaching a mini roundabout on Sunday morning at 5.30 am. Slowed down, looked right, looked left....nothing, carried on at a slower speed over roundabout, when
wooooooosh....from the left came a speeding white van, I jammed on the brakes and the rear end lifted, had I not stopped in time I'd have had a engine bike interface, I was lucky to have stopped 5 or 6 inches away. My heart pounding I watched as he sped past me, but he stopped just on the other side, cause his bum cheeks were clenching too!
I hate vans:smt097

Yeah! What the hell, pull out.
After all, it'll be someone else's fault, you will be able to claim against someone, possibly the van driver, possibly the driver who hits you. There will be a claim in there somewhere!

I can, but then I've known Tim for a while now! :wink:
Only jokin Tim, we used to have the same problem with people parking at the butty shop on the corner of the estate - In the end the shop owner put up signs asking people to park considerately (and more to the point, legally), because the local traffic wardens did sweet FA when we complained to them...

Hi Tim,
that part of the A6 is terrible anyway - my mate dropped his gixxer there a few years ago - for similar scenario. I was nearly knocked down on that crossing also - for the same reason (HGV stopped outside what used to be Dansons papershop) blocking the drivers line of sight. :(

OK, why do I get annoyed?
Well the zebra crossing you can see, that was installed after the lad who lived across the road from me (Jamie Hollick) was killed crossing where the white van is parked. His dad was the local police sergeant who was called out to a fatality on the A6.
There have been a number of complaints made about this. twice a traffic warden has appeared and told them to move, they then come back once he goes.
and no I have never phoned the traffic wardens

Remember hearing about that - terrible, as he wasn't that old from what I remember.

Same situation at our place Tim - a couple of high-school kids got knocked down & they eventually installed one of those crossing islands but still people were parking stupidly. Most of the time they were customers at the shop too and just couldn't be arsed to park a few yards further down while they went in to get their bacon sarnie...
