On the bonnet of my car!

Heading down the A12 to work, I pull into the inside lane after overtaking and notice a police car had pulled a Fiesta over in front, I noticed the door of the Fiesta opening, so thought I would pull back out into the outside lane - this was a good move!

Chap jumped out of the car into the waiting arms of the police officer, managed to push him off and promptly ran across the A12 in front of me! Thankfully I had moved out and had been slowing a little when I saw the door open and the brakes on the Focus are good so I managed to stop just in time. He then legged it behind me, over the central reservation and into over the other side of the (also busy) Northbound A12.

Fucking nutter! I hope the police catch him again and really throw the book at him. He must have been stopped for something other than speeding, maybe he'd stolen the car or had drugs or something in the car that made him leg it over one of the busiest roads in the county at rush hour!

If I'd been in my old Peugeot I'd probably be sitting in a police station or hospital right now...and he'd probably have a tag on his toe!

There really are some prime fools in the world!

Would have been awful for you, but I can't help but think it might have improved the gene pool.

It's harsh, but I kind of agree.

(Although having never been in an accident, I reserve the right to change my mind completely - especially when I think about actually hitting the dozy sod...)

bet you would have had the CPS laying charges of dangerous driving and speeding for killing said scrote and his family suing you.
