    A Lucky Escape

    I was in the car on the way to the client co office this morning when I accidentally dropped my phone in the passenger footwell. I reached down to pick it up and when I looked back out in front there was a van doing about 20mph. It was foggy but it wasn't even bad enough for me to bother turning my lights on. I swerved round him almost clipping another van which itself had to take evasive maneuvers .

    Anyway, I stopped at the next lay-by as the phone was still in the footwell and I'd missed a call. Looks like I was doubly lucky cause had I been slightly slower I would never had made it in to work as some tit had caused a right massive pile up on that road!!!

        If it's foggy put some Iights on.

        If some idiot then hits you they can't claim they didn't see you.

                I can understand some crashes - but 200 cars?

                Is everyone on the Isle of Sheppy thick? Oh yes, I see your point....

                  Once on my way to Milan airporrt to pick someone up I drove through fog so thick I couldn't see the overhead gantries, signs, white lines or sliproads (hence totally missed the turn and got very lost).

                  It was fooking terrifying. I've never been so glad to get out of a car. At least not one I was driving.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
