If I'm back then something's gone horribly wrong...
I had a post moderated message when posted in the wanted section so I'll see if this works any better.
Thanks to a dumb muffin in a clio N838FWY is dead. The clio did not die uneaten either. Police have assigned liability and said very nice things about my reaction times and decision making. The woman was bumped and bruised and she dropped her phone. The back end of her car is kinda gone where the 8 went through it. My car was drivable, not even a punctured rad but the wing, bonnet and bumper means that it'll surely be a write off. If I had not "taken timely avoiding action with due concern for the safety of other road users" she and others would have been toast. Excuse me for saying this but somedays I am a driving god. 4.2m at 25ish mph and I picked the right way to go to avoid involving others and mitigated the impact, thereby saving her life. Her face would have stuck in the mind when she looked up and realised what she'd done. Her head would have gone through my screen I think.
BIll
