"1 missed call"Originally posted by Spacecadet View Post
Anyway, I stopped at the next lay-by as the phone was still in the footwell and I'd missed a call.

Once on my way to Milan airporrt to pick someone up I drove through fog so thick I couldn't see the overhead gantries, signs, white lines or sliproads (hence totally missed the turn and got very lost).
It was fooking terrifying. I've never been so glad to get out of a car. At least not one I was driving.

If it's foggy put some Iights on.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostI was in the car on the way to the client co office this morning when I accidentally dropped my phone in the passenger footwell. I reached down to pick it up and when I looked back out in front there was a van doing about 20mph. It was foggy but it wasn't even bad enough for me to bother turning my lights on.
If some idiot then hits you they can't claim they didn't see you.

I swerved round him almost clipping another van which itself had to take evasive maneuvers

Anyway, I stopped at the next lay-by as the phone was still in the footwell and I'd missed a call. Looks like I was doubly lucky cause had I been slightly slower I would never had made it in to work as some tit had caused a right massive pile up on that road!!!
