Today I checked the fluids in my little Swift and then took her on a nice sedate B road blast, it was very wet and the puddles can be 6″ deep in the lanes.
One corner is about 70 degrees, totally blind. As usual I slowed to about 10 MPH, leaned on the horn and flashed my lights as I crawled around. I was met by a Hummer H1. It looked like someone had put my house in the lane. A Range Rover is tiny compared to one, my car looked like a Dinky toy next to a Tonka Truck.
Only option was to reverse, about 15 cars behind the Hummer. There’s a cattery/ kennel about a 1/2 mile back so I aimed for that little drive way, otherwise it’d be about 3 miles of reversing. No passing point big enough for that monster and my car.
There’s another blind corner before the cattery/ kennel, maybe another 1/2 mile back so I ‘advised’ the passenger of the H1 to move down towards that way carefully, shouting and waving bright things. It’s a national speed limit area.
In the end I made it to kennel/ cattery, turned back the way I’d come and parked across the access road to the lane, which is opposite a school. OFC I was abused a lot, and I was on the phone to the Police at the time, via Android Auto.
Not a good afternoon.
