I was out in the Midget thisafternoon when I caught up with a stationery queue
of traffis on a narrow (2 lane) and twisty bit of road. Being at the back of
the queue and just round a blind corner I held back a couple of car lengths
from the car in front.
As I glanced in the mirror I saw a big artic truck come round the bend behind
me in a hell of a hurry ! He hit the brakes and I hit the throttle at about
the same moment ! I shot forward and swerved onto the verge and he slid past
just inches from me and ploughed into the back of the car in front of me. He
was so close I couln't open the door to get out!
Fortunately no one was hurt, although the car he smashed was shortened by a
foot or so. I was so close to being the filling in a non vegetarian sandwich
!!!
