I promise you, not all Honda Civic drivers behave like that,SM. Honest.
Glad you are safe.
Something similar happened to me yesterday.
Having just safely manouvered Hyde Park Corner (only other Brits will appreciate that)I was crawling along in heavy traffic. Some idiot behind was honking furiously. Like where could he go? Traffic was solid. Anyhow, he managed to get past us - he was driving one of those flash SAABs. Suddenly there was a loud bang. He had hit a motor
cyclist! The front of his beautiful SAAB was scattered over the road and so was the bike. The rider was up and screaming at him and his pillion passenger was lying on the ground. Within minutes the police were there, and sirens screaming announcing the arrival of ambulance. The traffic was being diverted (causing the rest of us to drive miles out of our way) And all because of the idiot's impatience. I hope the passenger was not badly hurt and I hope the idiot SAAB driver gets the book thrown at him!
And there was no Gord to pacify my shattered nerves!
