OOoooo bit of a heart attack this morning on my way to work....

So I was coming down a road, pootling along and I saw a bloke pull up to the upcoming cross road so I slowed cus im always worried about it there.

And he started to pull out so I moved out to the far side (thinking he is guna stop) and he just pulled straight across the cross roads. Hit my exhaust I think. The back slid out. Thankfully i kept it upright....just!

I did think he hadnt stopped but he had pulled up up the other road and came running down. Really nice bloke, just totally didn’t see me. He thinks it was cus of all the light coming thro the trees on that particular road. I took all his details just in case there were any problems. But I think its ok

But blimey, thats one way to wake you up in the morning

ps. sorry for crap typing...hands are still shaking
