From: Harry Bloomfield on 10 Dec 2009 12:29 Stretch of Leeds DC ring road with a 70 limit. A car reverses at speed out of a drive, occupied by a male driver plus passenger - with all the windows obscured externally by rain/dew. Obviously he couldn't see very much behind him nor hear very much either, because someone had left a brown bin directly behind the car - which he pushed out into the middle of the DC. Now I wonder which unlucky individual hit it? It was still dark and the bin being dark brown would make it almost invisible to someone doing the limit down that road. He was going at quite a speed as he reversed out and the bin must have made quite a noise, but he either didn't hear it or chose to ignore it - miraculously the bin remained upright throughout. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk

Silk brought next idea : > I think you'll find it's called being observant.

You don't suppose that my own side of the dual carriageway might have been queueing do you and that I could got a grandstand view of the proceedings from start to finish, do you? -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
