Near Miss!

I was driving to work in my Audi. I stick the Audi on cruise 50 mph as it saves worrying about the moble cameras, that sometimes appear on that stretch of road. Thre is a long straight on my route (still in the 50) with a sharp bend at the end of it. I was about 3/4 of the way through the straight, when I see a lorry coming towards me round the bend. Overtaking it was a dark red 306. I quickly think to myself that the 306 did not seem to be making progress overtaking the lorry and i decide that my best plan of action is to drive as close to the hedge as I can and to brake heavily. I came to a stop and put my handbrake on, tucked my legs in underneath the front of the seat and braced ready for the airbag to go off. The 306 missed me by what seemed like inches as he cut back in across the front of the lorry. He must of been doing approx 70 to 80 mph as he did so. I didn't even get the time to flash my lights at him or anything as I was just thinking about bracing for the impact.

 

As i sat there in complete shock I got a clear view of what he looked like but unfortunately not the number plate. He looked like he was late 60s, would definately recognise him again. He didn't even acknowledge me or look like he thought anything was wrong!

 

I don't think I have ever been so close to a serious accident in my life! What a w@nker!

Glad your okay could have been nasty. When you said 306 I was thinking young lad would be driving. Still goes to show can be any age to drive like a tit

 

Thats what i thought as well. I didn't expect a older man.

 

I was just pleased that i made the decision to Brake when I did, otherwise who knows.
