Well, this must rank as one of the more exciting posts in a while, I have just been witness and party to a near head on collision with a vehicle. I was in my car and the vehicle in front (a good 200yards ahead) was nearly hit head on by an on-coming vehicle, which then swerves at the last minute knocking his/her wing mirror off and the debris from that hits and damages my car (which I didn’t find out until I came home just now!) - and the this “IDIOT” drives off into the night!!

Irony of ironies, the chap in the front vehicle was an off-duty police officer….isn’t it always the way? I stopped out of a matter of course as I was a witness to the whole affair, and I must say this policeman is very lucky indeed. Just one fraction of a second out in his reaction time could have meant the difference between serious injuries or even a fatality.

It doesn’t even bear thinking about! I gave my statement when the uniform arrived, and went on my sober way. I’m just shocked at the way this other vehicle just dissappeared? Between us we surmised this driver was either half-cut, uninsured or disqualified….or a combination of all three? Thinking back to the incident I seem the recall a white coloured/light coloured vehicle (under the amber lights colour definition is not very good), but judging by the wing mirror left behind it could well have been a Cavelier.

Looking back on this I am a little bit shaken, and obviously I have got in touch with my insurance company as I have a damaged front grill between the front bumper and and the bonnet :(
