(1/4) > >>

Was away for a wee break this weekend to Fort William
On the way up I got caught in a mobile "safety" camera as I was overtaking an X5 with a trailer   :cry:  - I'll bet when the ticket comes through the post I was doing less than 70 in a 60 limit while overtaking on the only long straight on that particular bit of road - what's unsafe about that ?
Left Fort William early on Sunday cos it was hissing it down (Sorry Highlander 1 - didn't have time to come and see you - planned to head that way on Sunday but weather was terrible as you will know ! )
Got about 5 miles out of Crianlarich when the Focus C-Max I was following came to a gentle halt in the middle of the road with no signals at all - indicated and pulled out to overtake him only for him to turn right and side swipe the Rangie as I passed him !
Took his details - bloody Polish and not very good at English - he missed his turning and didn't see me behind although I had been following for about 2 miles with my headlights on   :roll:
Rangie is going to need a new front passenger door and a scratch doing on the rear pass door
Focus will need a new bonnet, front wing, headlight, bumper and a radiator


Not a happy bunny  :cry:

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I think that weekend should fall into the '[!Expletive Deleted!]' category! My sympathies are with you, and hope the other driver has insurance. My experience shows a lot of these are 'Pool Car' drivers. Hope it gets sorted.

LSP, what IS your avatar from?

SWEETY:
Sorry to hear what happened & hope you & the family are ok.
The problem is your Rangie is just to small to see  :lol:

v8kenny:
The Polish chap had his wife and bairn with him - they were all OK so that's the main thing
I couldn't believe how the front of his focus seemed to have exploded in what was a fairly low speed impact though  
His insurance details seem fine according to my insurers so next stop the body shop I suppose   :wink:
