Metatron Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Whatever happened to public information adverts about road safety......I mean I know there few running currently but they don't seem to be making an impact (excuse the pun). Had some no brained herbert kid run out from the front of a bus whilst I was passing. I had just passed the rear of the bus when he appeared, he saw me hesitated and then made a dash. By this time he was about 2 foot away from me, so no time to swerve or stop, fortunately I was only doing about 10mph at the time and I only glanced him. I stopped to see if he was alright and he walked over and started giving me grief!!!! I told him that he made an idiotic decision to run across the road when hidden behind the bus and how was I supposed to of seen him and that he was at fault. He then had the cheek to say to me that I should move along before I get hurt What makes me laugh is that there's a pedestrian crossing 2 meters from the bus stop, why not use it? Checked the car over and there's a dent on the wheel arch, some scratches and some chipped paint work. One kids stupid decision gonna cost me a few hundred....arrrrhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demolition49 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I feel for you on this one, I had a kid blatently see me coming up to a side road, he saw me and walked SLOW on purpose with a limp. So I got the wheels spinning and he soon dashed across and shouted out "what blood" What an ass!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
