    Had similar last night. We live on a single track road. Coming home I met another car coming the other way. As I know the road very well I started to reverse into a field entrance. The idiot in the other car kept coming forward as I was reversing and had his lights on full beam blinding me in the process of reversing. I ended up stopping my reverse and putting my headlights on full AND my fogs which eventually got through to the thick ghit that it just might be an idea to switch of all but his side lights:gaah:. I was so tempted to just get out of my car and leave it blocking his way and walk home being all of about 100 ft from where I live but thought better of it....just:).

      Even better is to reverse back very slowly, miss a few passing places and stop a few times to pull forwards and straighen up and take a long time ;) you know it's very hard to drive, i'm a very bad at driving sometimes ;) :snorky:

      Naughty Jiffy where did you get that one from

      I had a good teacher Miss Jiff :snorky::biggrin:

          The House of Commons Public Accounts select committee can't even cope with simple arithmetic!

          If a item is sold without the addition of 20% VAT, it will be 16.7% cheaper than with VAT added.



          Amazon and eBay profiting from fraud by sellers who dodge VAT, MPs say

                I find police cars like to sit on the wrong side of the road with their headlights on. I would be within my rights to confront them about it.

                I once recently straightened up to back straight into a space. A car drove through the parking spaces to get round me. Today I interrupted the progress of a car driving to quick around a roundabout. He followed me as far as the next traffic lights. When the lights turned to green, he nipped round me and sped off. Everybody is always in a hurry. These people had better avoid me as I don't hurry for anyone.

                      Ironically, today a lorry turned over and blocked 3 of the 4 lanes. What are the chances?

                        @shiney perhaps you could call in if you happen to be passing.

                          Sod's Law or sod's law is the idea that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong.

                          Thanks Gary, very kind of you but when I'm going past I'm usually on my way to the Keswick area and we like to do it in one 'quick' drive. :blue thumb:

                            In countryside lanes (single track) why is it that if you meet another vehical they can't wait or slow down, but have to force there way past :mad: even if you are reversing back to a passing place, they're not even fussed about damaging they vehical :scratch: must have more money than sence :thud:
