Mick Friend Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 condom control - see its important, I hate quack, quack oops moments - I too had one this week... I have a new car on order - delivery expected this weekend -Oh Yeh! I will believe it when I have the keys, But on wednesday I drove 2 hours to pick up Norman to go a calling on customers, Swanley station, find it, find the car park - wrong side of the Station - so while he walks through the tunnel, me on the hands free to him I back up to drive back out (LHD Car) mirror clear rear view clear BANG! furkin great yellow skip half way through the tailgate. The rear view was over the rear of the skip and through and out the back, the driver mirror was the side of the car the passenger miirrow one 16 yd bright yellow skip. Leave Swanley - wash screen wipers pack up - still have southampton, bristol, cheltenham to do........... fortunately next day wipers worked phew rain everyplace. So trade in is going to suffer then. Moral of the story - one job at a time even hands free absorbes some of your brain leaving enough to make a 16 yd skip invisible. Only luck was I missed that fatal accident on the M1 but a gnats whisker - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
