Near Miss #2

There must be something about driving thast causes most people to switch off their brains.

Scooting to work this morning, I had one of those "oh sh&@!" moments caused by a young gent in a HUGH 4WD totally ignoring the rules about merging and driving while distracted. The idiot almost drove over the top of me.

I had just completed merging onto the Centenary Highway when a "wonderful person" in a dull red "Toorak Tractor" and doing about 130kph in an 80 zone, decided he'd hop into my lane because he could.

If I didn't ride as if everyone was out to kill me, I probably wouldn't have noticed him until it was too late. Thankfully, I saw him appraching way too fast so I slipped into the emergency lane and was out of the lane as he sped past, totally unaware I was there.

Why didn't he notice me? 

Could it have been the white wires hanging from his head, or maybe it was the small white device in his hand. Maybe he's just an IDIOT.

Whatever the reason, I have his rego and I'll be passing it on to the police. Why do that you ask? This incident occurred within view of numerous traffic cameras, so the police will be able to verify the incident and send off the appropriate number of tickets to the Policemans Ball.

Todays score:

Scooter     - 0 (just a bit shaken) 

4WD Idiot  - minus a few hundred dollars (and a few points)

To all the IDIOTS on the road...Sccoterman is watching and will shortly be armed with video of your behaviour.

Until next time - Keep on scooting.
