Forget the Birdsville Track, I always knew that the most dangerous place to drive was in the city. After 20 years of missing everyone that got in my way the other day I managed to get in the way of a nice lady in the family stationwagon. As I was trying to leave a shopping centre she came down the road from my right with her left hand indicator on.
Now most people would assume that she was turning left and so it was safe to proceed. Nope - apparently 100 metres back she had changed lanes and had not bothered or realised that her indicator was still on. She received a nice crease line right down the left side of GMH's finest and I received a small dent/scratch on my bullbar.
I was disappointed to find that RACQ has determined that I was at fault and will have to pay the excess, and lose my 60% no claims bonus etc. and I really have no damage. RACQ say that I may as well get myself a new bullbar as I am paying anyway.
My point is that I would have a dozen crashes every time I took the Prado out if I could not rely on people doing what they were telling me they were doing. I feel a little miffed that this collision was ALL my fault.
C'mon, tell me I'm wrong.
