HOW BLIND DO YOU HAVE TO F'ING BE ???????????!!!!!
Discussion
Took the co. van into town to get everyone some lunch. It's a BT yellow high cube Transit with reflective panels on the rear doors. The weather's a bit damp, but visibility is clear and it's fairly bright. AND SOME TW@S JUST DRIVEN INTO THE BACK OF IT 
WHILE IT WAS PARKED AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TOTALLY STATIONARY. IN THEIR S2000. SOME PEOPLE REALLY AREN'T FIT TO DRIVE NICE CARS.
Still, the van's fine, the Safe-T and tow hook having taken the brunt of the impact. Another S2000 bites the dust though

I was hoping someone would at least tell me that S2000s are evil-handling POS and that I haven't sent a superb drivers car to its death. Why am I feeling guilty ? Why am I talking to myself ? I'm going for a lie down...
followed by bleeding and looking green.The best one I had was....
My lorry Very green in colour parked, woman had parked behind it to the right about 6ft back. ie me one side of the road her the other in this close. she jumps straight in her discovery and goes forward bang rips her wing .... then does more damage reversing out ......
I was standing by the lorry working away and saw the lorry move and thought .... No she can't of... yes she has.....
I thought there was room to get by she said....

Saw someone on a push bike do this once, and it was my fault (he was ogling my motorbike as I was waiting to pull out, instead of looking where he was going). He face planted the boot of a car, broke his jaw. Blood everywhere.
Anyway, it was only a Honda, there are thousands more out there, no big loss!

It's amazing what people can miss. One numpty drove her family square on into the back of a parked Volvo estate outside our house a few years back. Big wide road, no other traffic about. Nothing to distract her other than her wailing sprogs.
Two mates have managed this kind of thing on push bikes. Amazing neither of them were killed. For the record, they are both intelligent and alert ... come to think of it, they are the two best sportsmen I know. Both fit, with very good coordination. Last people you'd expect to manage this stuff.
One hadn't been out on his bike for a while. SHot down through Bristol ... put his head down to get more aerodynamic and looked up just in time to torpedoe someone's estate. The other guy was making some progress UP A HILL and somehow managed to hit a parked car. He can't remember the incident at all, but there was no evidence anyone else was involved. he knocked himself out and needed surgery. Came within millimetres of losing an eye.

Coming back from Cornwall along the A303 yesteday and spotted a Police motorbike about 1/2 mile behind me, I was stuck behind some muppet in a mondeo who refused to pull over anyway. Pulled into the inside lane and kept it at a steady 70, bike went past and sat behind muppet boy for about 5 miles at a steady 80-90mph, eventually tugged him!!! Oh how I laughed!
If you cant spot a copper on a bike 30 yards off your rear bumper you deserve 3 points.

i was coming back from a collection in the 7.5 and got to the scrubbs lane lights on the a40.i was sitting in the inside lane waiting for the lights to change when i noticed a metro on my outside was trying to get between the front and rear wheels of my truck.the lights turned green and i pulled off,the back of the truck went up the wing and over the bonnet,the lights shot out across the road(like the sharks eyes popped out in jaws2)and as the back came down the safety bar crushed the bonnet and left the metro lowered by about 2 inches where the suspension popped.when we were exchanging details and i was getting witness's names,all of them were saying it was the metro drivers fault,i asked why the driver did it,the reply i got was "i was trying to get to the left turn lane for acton" i said "why didnt you wait until i was out of your way?" the driver said "i was in a hurry".
incase you were wondering,there was no damage to the lorry whatsoever.
a few weeks later a mate of mine was in his tipper(fully loaded) and he had some moron carve across from the outside lane to the inside lane in a mpv and slam his brakes on(emergency stop style)in front of him on the a40(between scrubbs lane and the park royal one way)my mate couldnt stop and hit the mpv,sending it flying into a lampost and eventually landing on its side.the driver of the mpv ran off and it later came out that the guy was an illegal immigrant in a stolen motor.
why dont people learn not to screw with those big old lumps of metal?
