Oi!

I was late posting the latest from my run of earlies because of this...

A young female driver piled into the back of me as I waited for the car in front of me to pull in and park. All I saw was a blur in my rear-view mirror, her face (closeup) and then there was an almighty bang. My car was thrown forward but I managed to stop it hitting anything else. She had been travelling at speed but hadn't seen that I was stationary - or she was distracted (she had a friend in the car with her).

Her car was much worse off, the entire front of it was demolished but that probably saved her life, she should have been thrown through her windscreen and into the back seat of mine, such was the force.

I have lots of experience with the aftermath of accidents like this but virtually no experience of being in one, so it was quite a shock. Of course, I made sure nobody was hurt and luckily, nobody was.

The irony is that the young lady is insured by one of the most annoying statistically-skewed (and possibly sexist) companies around...Sheila's Wheels!

I can't get the stupid song out of my head now...
