    Near death experiance

    OK peeps just like to say a big thank you to God who I don't particularly believe in but someone saved my **** so thanks anyway.

    Quick scene setting, riding up Mill Hill high st two trainees in front of me on motorcycles me following instructing them. Heard an horrendous noise looked to my right and see a car coming over the pavement from a side street accelerating hard engine screaming crashing through commercial bins and scraping between the railings lamp post and lights for the pedestrian crossing.

    Time slowed down as it does when you think (f*** I'm about to die) so been an expert rider an all that I cracked open the throttle and f***ed of sharpish. looking in my mirror then pulling over fast to run back some little old lady had hit the accelerator instead of the brake and ploughed straight across the high St smashing into a telecom box flattening it now the car is balancing on top wheels of the floor spinning on full throttle, nice.

    I ran up opened the door turned the ignition and before I could find out if she was OK she just said " It wouldn't stop" hahaha no s*** darling, try using the f*****g brake instead of the accelerator.

    How the f*** she didn't kill at least a few people I'll never know, miracles do happen.

    Gonna pop to one of the shops I know next week see if he caught it on his cctv, bet it looks the boooollox.

    Glad to hear you're ok, that's the main thing..sounds like quite a scene.

    Wonder why nothing is enforced anywhere with regards to elderly people's driving standards

          Not on my roads they ain't mate- they seem to be the bloody majority! And they all 'drive' at 40, except going round corners when its 20, and of course when you go to overtake they suddenly manage 70..-F**cking prescription-drugged up , selfish to the core,(or at best mindlessly oblivious) old b*****ds...and the police do nothing to ..er, police them! Old folk driving severely hamper work schedules and waste other folk's fuel, and raise their blood pressures...aaargh, don't get me started!

                It was the pedestrians I was worried about if there had been a family near by they would of been wiped out.

                I see some amazing sh** from old drivers been out on the road all day, just as much from everyone else too sadly
