Went for a drive today on some dirt tracks near home.
It was a bit hilly and lots of sharp corners.
But as I am still getting the feel of the car I took my time (which I would do any way).
Came to a corner and some nutter on a motor bike came screaming around the corner on my side of the road.
I braked and he did a side skid and I reckon I missed him by a foot or so.
My thoughts went straight to to 'I better get a bull bar' - thinking of the damage this guy would have caused and of course it would be put down to an accident involving 'one of those 4wd vehicles' in the press.
But being a good person I did think that I should get a smartbar so that if I did hit him it would not have caused him as much damage.
.
MInd you on the same trip I came across another 4wd truck cutting corners as well (not me), but I did my share until above.
Lesson learnt, for all I hope.
