I suppose it was nice of her to warn me, but how about locking the old dear in her room so she wouldn't be a danger to the rest of the public? :confused:

You are not wrong in being thankful that it wasn't you.

You did help the guy pick it up and helped to make sure he had the number of the car etc... from the people in the cafe across the road.

The sheer ignorance from the driver who probably didn't even take a second glance let alone a first when reversing is most annoying :rolleyes:

unfortunately it's often a biker they don't see, i think the tally is something like 7-8 major car+bike crashes and 5 fatals this year so far, all of them due to elderly people not looking, only one fatality from a biker going too fast into a corner and losing control

absolutely hopeless, i hope i have the soundness of mind or my relatives have the balls to tell me i shouldn't be driving any more when that time comes...
