Just coming out of our road I nearly drove into a car coming straight for me down a narrow single lane bit of road. I just didn't see him!
Perhaps it was because it was a Grey car or perhaps it was because I was so familiar with the road and because it is always empty I never assumed that someone might be coming my way.
It seems to me that we are most likely to have an accident in the roads we use most often near our homes that are generally quiet. I just wonder how many other people do this - or is it just me?
