I give thanks and praise to my very overworked guardian angel !!
In just one week I have had eight very close misses while driving, involving everything from dodging large trucks failing to give way, to a suicidal pedestrian running out onto the road in front of the car. Nearing the end of the week, my nerves had been well shaken and stirred. But for the grand finale , I had stopped to give way to pedestrians at a crossing when my car was hit sharply from behind, jolting the car through the crossing at the only time when pedestrians were not actually in front of the car - thus not hitting anyone. Anyone else had a driving week like this ??

Yes, praise your guardian angel indeed! That was some amazing luck that nothing happened!

Not a whole week but there have definately been days where I'd be driving and everyone seems to be out to get me.
Glad that you made it through without a scratch. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Glad you weren't injured in the accident Pangur Ban. Too bad you can't get the other driver's insurance to pay for a rental car as well as paying for the damages. I did a few years back when I got smashed from behind. Sat on the road for three hours before the police came, it was summer and I was dying of heat and thirst, was a nightmare! The other driver's insurance company came to my house two days later, made an estimate of the damages, I agreed with it (they were way off, gave me more money than I needed!) and they gave me a check right on the spot! Rented a nice rental car too (paid for by them LOL) and snazzed about for two days in a new car (only 21 miles on it). Got my car back good as new. All in all it worked out not so bad.
