When I asked her what was she thinking , she replied " I was lost in my thoughts"

I think she may have been on holiday in my local town yesterday.

One assumes this wasn't a 'Vous n'avez pas le priorite' situation and was more of a 'Elle n'a pas la sagesse' situation?

Sacré nom d'un chien!

Hope no serious damage.

Bet the thoughts she was lost in went something like this;

"Hmm a big white thing approaching, bet I can make it if I put my foot down" followed shortly by "SSHH*************************TTTTTTT, turbo lag!!!"

 

[Manic]

Makes me think maybe a dash cam is a good idea.

 

[DL42846]

No she didn't have priority. And I wouldn't be without a dash cam. A little while back a gendarm tried accusing me of going through a amber light until I showed him the video footage.

The large .. A .. on the back says it all really .. Perhaps she should get some more driving lessons or go to SPECSAVERS ..

What dash cam is that Mike?

What dash cam is that Mike?

Its a mini Eyoyo 806 Dash cam. I bought it about a year ago. Once in place you can forget about it. It comes on with the ignition. The wire goes down the door post to a USB plugged into the cig lighter. The quality is much better than the video I posted. I Videoed the video with my phone as I couldn't find out how to edit out the swearing.
I paid about £60 for it at the time. There are probably much better ones now for the price as these things seem to improve all the time. I do like the Mini cam though as I can forget all about it until situations like that.

What puzzles me is she appears to wait at the junction till I come along. She had a young child in the back, I suspect she was distracted. I felt quiet sorry for her. She was shaking like a leaf.

Did she miss you?

 

[DL42846]

Did she miss you?

Unfortunately not. Scuff on my bumper and a dent on her front wing. Garage will repair the scuff on my bumper for 100€. If I had about another 6 to 12 inches we would have got away with it.

I'm rather surprised you gave her a second shot at it .............

Beware over here, some have a little glass as a 10 o'clock, a snifter before lunch with a half bottle of wine with lunch with the statutory apero around 5pm before dinner with the other half of the bottle with dinner. If the roads were built wavy I'm sure there wouldn't be as many problems. When out and about we play the guessing game between us apero'd/old/stupid or perm any two from three with reference the driver in front who is trimming the grass on one side of the road then crossing the line oblivious to the eyes wide open panicked look of the driver coming the other way. We often wonder, into which of the three categories the drivers behind us place us within

 

[Chris]

Bloody hell

I think it was your fault though for driving on the wrong side of the road

Glad no one was hurt.
