Blinking 3 Lane Road

[PeaJay]

Coming along the Warminster bypass...

If you know the road it goes 2 lane, 3 lane, 2 lane, 3 lane...

Anyway on Monday, was coming one way when some kind considerate driver decided that they needed more room to complete that ill advised overtake than the road allowed.

I went "ooh F...!" and took evasive action.. onto softish verge (I thought)... BANG! Large raised storm drain hit... :censor:

Tyre wrecked! Me shocked, luckily the alloy was ok (had it checked)

(Local tyre place has got deal on Bridgestones... So, i'm now little lighter in the pocket)

Of course they would never notice what happened... One of those "i've seen lots of accidents... all in my rear mirror" people... :ffs:

Well done mate, glad you took the right option and after all it's only a tyre.

Take care and best regards .... Pete.
