Whats with Members witnessing/being part of accidents caused by Mobiles recently?
If we're going by our (Admittantly skewed) numbers, you could say that the Mobile phone is more of an issue than speeding when it comes to road safety.
but which is worth more to Copper Coffers? Exactly.
My Near-Miss Story Time.
I pulled into the carpark of the Local shops. Hunting around for a park. It had just been raining and the carpark is underground, so my car was still wet (As were it's tyres). I travel down the main route when this utter retard in a White Tarago (I counted 6 kids inside
) just randomly swings out from behind a pole.
My tyres are wet, I'm pissed off about school, and then this happens. I'm forced to swerve onto the other side of the road (nearly collecting a shopping trolley in the process) and Do the usual Blast-Horn-Flash-Lights-Bird-Wave movement anyone else in my position would have done.
AND THEN SHE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK! she continues blissfully unaware of her surroundings - probably lulled into a trance by the Hi-5 CD playing in the car or something
THEN ANOTHER FLIPPIN 4WD PULLS OUT BEHIND HER! I'm stopped by this stage, and they just see an opportunity and pull out directly behind her! They cop it too.
Funnily enough I felt better after that incident - I've decided I'm a huge passive agressive personality
