Default Near miss this morning!!

Extremely close call this morning on way home from work. I had stopped on the A96 with a car turning ahead, unfortunately the crazy Land Rover driver behind didnt see us stopped and had to swerve into the verge/hedge to miss me, luckily I moved just in time onto the other side of road to avoid a nasty rear-ending!!

No, I was waiting for the impact but somehow he managed to miss me and the trees along the verge!

Lucky escape!

He/ she's just justified the 4x4 on 10 metres of muddy verge...

I was halfway across a zebra crossing this morning having taken the hound for a stroll on the beach.

You can imagine my chagrin, when some bell end in a Discovery 4 SMIDSY nearly totalled me and my dog.

At least the brakes worked.......eventually

He must have been blind, I was wearing the loudest shirt in living memory .....

I was less than impressed
