I was out with the rest of my family today (Mum, Dad and Sister who is visiting from Australia and her husband)
We drove out into the country to go for a walk and pub meal. On the way there i was asked by my sister why we were going so slow (about 50/60mph) My reply was "my whole family is in this car, i dont want to crash and wipe us all out"
On the way home, i was going round a sweaping bend in a 60 mph zone and this prick in a Cav GSI was coming in the other direction. I'm not sure what he was doing at the time (could have been playing with the stereo of texting) but his car left his lane and came straight into ours.
Luckily i saw him just at the right time when i knew this was going to happen and i swerved out the way almost mouting the verge. If i hadnt swerved there and then he'd have definatley hit us.
Howerver, he only missed us by about 2 or 3 ft. Every one in the car shat them self big time. My heart was racing afterwards and all i could think about is what COULD have happened. He was going well over 60mph and i'm pretty sure he would have gone straight into my driver side door killing at least me and probably others in the car.
Its been playing on my mind all night and probably will do for a few days now.
Summary - Because of some prick on the road, me and my entire family could be dead. Also, dont txt and drive.
