How not to start a Monday

Driving home at 03h00 this morning, pretty much minding my own business when a pedestrian decides to take on my car. (NOT the p-car!)

Nett result is a dented left fender (that must have hurt!), and a pretty much screwed up right-hand side, from sideswiping a steel barrier in my attempt to avoid the guy. He seemed to be OK enough, as he got up and ran away, but here I am now stuck with police reports, insurance dealings, and basically all the mess that comes with hitting a pedestrian. Don't even mention the inconvenience that comes with having to book my car in for repairs!

Important note:

Nothing can quite spoil your day like spending two hours in a South African police station, trying to give a statement to an illiterate. Sure hope they can make sense of what they wrote down...:mad:

Roll on Tuesday...

Must have been wanted by the law to run like that. Usually they jump infront of the car so you'll pay, lol. Hopefully he walks with a severe limp now.

That problem is not unique to South Africa......

I started my day by squealing to a stop to avoid someone backing out of their driveway onto a main road. I managed to stop in time, but the car behind me nailed me. The guy who had backed out left the scene, saying "well I wasn't in an accident, YOU GUYS were", even though he had clearly caused the accident.
