Hi,

Warning - this is a rant about an Audi driver and our road

I have just turned into my driveway off the road and nearly been hit in the side by an Audi driver.( i was driving geoffs peugeot 406
I was indicating to turn right into my drive, but as the council have placed bollards to stop morons driving along the pavement( yes they still do it despite the bollards), i have to swing out a bit in order to get into the driveway.

She tried to overtake me and as i swung round to enter the driveway, she hooted and screeched to a halt, just missing me.

I got out of the car and asked her what the **** she thought she was doing, she said - you pulled in to the side,  i replied at high volume that i was indicating to turn right and referred her to the bollards .  she replied that she thought i had indicated the wrong way - i replied (again at high volume) with words to the effect that i was not some idiot **** audi driver but a poor soul living on a road that **** like her use as a short cut to the motorway.  

She then backed up so that i could get into the driveway.

The neighbours were much amused and gave me a round of applause!!!

The amount of times i get abused as i try and get into or out of my driveway is frightening -as is trying to cross the road.  I live in a village, but when the local main road (the 453 past radcliffe powerstation) is closed, as it frequently is due to car accidents, everyone uses our road as the rat run.  

This woman got a mouthful from me as i was extremely shook up - if she had hit the side of the car, i would have been squashed by the door, it was pure ignorance on her part, but perhaps if she had put the mobile  phone down I might not have got so nasty.  

regards

ela

This isn't the first run in you've had with an Audi driver if I remember correctly  :evil:











(Best not admit I've got one  :-# )

Exactly the same thing has happened to me 3 times now with the exception of them not being audio drivers. The drivers might have been from germany mind for all the english they spoke.
