On my way to an interview, lost, clock-watching made a wrong turn. Got some directions, fired it into reverse, full lock and floored it.....straight into some bloke in an old AMG Merc! He wasn't happy and I had to politely square-up to him and raise my voice before he calmed down! He was even happier when I held my hands up and admitted 100% fault to the policeman.

By the way, how nice are the police. I'm going to write to someone telling them that. Smiling, shook my hand....very nice man. Feel sorry for the other bloke though.....he wont have his car for a week now.

Feck, sorry to read this. Just glad nobody got hurt.

In all fairness, the cops here are pretty good and very polite. I have never had to mix words with them, but the Mrs has, a few times and she was always very complimentary (she was always found not at fault! hahahahaaha)

No, reversing into another car, actually one of the more logical fines laugh

Excellent. I didn't realise that was going to happen. Next time I might ask the BIB to sex it up a bit.....
