I was walking towards town along Blackburn Rd today about 2.00 o'clock (p.m.), when I spied a rather large camper van parked half on the pavement and straddling the double yellows, nothing unusual about that it happens every day. Today however was slightly different because the gentleman in charge of it had finished whatever business he had been blocking the rest of the traffic for and was desperately looking in his wing mirror for a gap so he could continue on his way.
A car slowed down, flashed it's lights to indicate he could go, he put his arm out of his window to thank the other driver, continued to gun his engine, turned the steering wheel without looking forward and ran into a lamp-post! The surprise and embarrassment on his face made me regret the fact that I don't carry a camera 24/7.
