co-incidently there have been been two close calls in our house this weekend ... I wasn't on/in either vehicle
on the vespa A was heading down a main street in a suburb so not much manoeuvring room when some one pulled in and parked then immediately pulled out again fast .. nearly wiping out the vespa ... it must have been very close as it is pretty hard to rattle A then yesterday apparently the Triumph was at the lights in the outside lane and a big 4x4 suburban tank was in the inside lane and as the lights go green the SUV turns across the Triumph toward side street ... it just hadn't seen the car .. Triumphs are low to ground put thats just so stupid ... sitting so safe in your 3 tons you can't see a car right next to you !
