Tailing
It was snowing last night and the temperature was 2 degrees below. That meant that this morning the roads were a bit icy. In typical Jersey fashion, all the schools have been closed. Apart from one that is, St Michael's School, unlucky sods. Then again I don't blame them for opening because the fees to go to that school are astronomical. Anyway, there is one funny story that came from all of this. Someone who works for me at the office (who will remain anonymous) was driving in this morning. He had a woman following him behind and far too close for the conditions. When they stopped at some traffic lights, he asked her to keep back a little. Driving a little further he could see that she hadn't listened to him so he pulled in and let her overtake. He then started to follow her, she ended up following a van in front of her and was up his arse as well. (Here's the funny bit) The van had to break to let someone out, so she slammed her breaks on and went straight into a granite wall, smashing up the front of her car. Not badly but more of a broken light and bad scratches. She then casually reversed off the wall and carried on with her journey as if nothing had happened. It just goes to show, that there is no excuse in tailing when it is icy. Maybe she has learned a lesson from this and even if she hasn't, I bet she was well embarrassed.Posted by Markiss at February 28, 2005 12:02 PM
