Anatomy of a near miss.

[salty]

If we're being judgemental, I'm with Bricktop here. I've seen that nearly happen so often I'm paranoid about checking my mirrors before moving out, and signalling if there's any amount of traffic about. In fact, I'd have looked, then signalled just to make sure anyone around had had time to see it, then looked again before I did that.

But I'm always in favour of blaming the BMW.

You're back. You ok.

My back what? (No, don't answer that, I edited it.)

Fine now, thanks. Had a bit of a lingering virus, then the order came to get back on to trying to get the Scottish legal stuck-ups to recognise that the Lockerbie conviction was a pile of shit.

Hello @Rolfe!!

Where have you been?

Classic Bricktop

My view is that you were driving too fast for the conditions and the visibility of the approaching junction.

My driving instructor told me, "Never ever drive faster than you can see.

"blind muppets"

Which ones were they?
I can remember Kermit and Miss Piggy, but not the blind muppets.

I don't claim to be perfect ... I'm merely pointing out that a bit of forethought would have avoided that near-miss completely.

Forget 'forethought' what you really need is a big dollop of 'hindsight'

It seems that you've had almost 6 months of hindsight to come up with that riposte.

Just think if I had used a big dollop of 'forethought' I could have posted it almost a year ago

That's precognition not forethought.

Nah, you don't need extrasensory perception to know that Bricktop is always pushing his luck, simple reason and his posts will suffice
