God showed me such mercy yesterday ( as well as mercy to a few other people )
Driving to an appointment I had to get to the other side of a duel carriageway so needed to go almost all the way around a roundabout … not a problem as I was in the correct lane and indicating my intentions but a man driving a huge cement mixer lorry saw a blonde female driver and knew that I should be going the other way ( in his opinion ) so carried on instead of giving me the right of way ( as is the law ) and missed my car by inches He ended up hanging his head out of the window shouting apologies so I hope he learned a lesson and will be a safer driver
Finished what I needed to do and went shopping only to be witness to an horrific crash . I was waiting to turn at a T junction and saw a driver of a small works van in the wrong position to come out so I stopped to give her room and noticed a huge builders lorry coming towards us ( so I wouldn't have gone anyway ) as the lorry was half way past her she shot out and went straight into the side of the lorry There was a HUGE crash sounding like a bomb had gone off and I and the lorry driver and his passenger sat frozen in horror as bits of the small van shot into the air and missed my car by less than a foot
I was convinced the driver would be dead .. no idea why anyone would go from a stop straight into the side of a huge vehicle ( my daughter thinks she may have been on her phone and just started off without thinking and at speed ) but she actually got out of the van without a scratch on her … the van was totalled with the front concertinaed and most of it all over the road in every direction but no one was hurt ( if she had hit just a few seconds earlier the lorry passenger would have been crushed )
I drove to my daughters home as I was very shaken by all this and on the way back home something told me to slow down ( I was doing about 24 in a 30 mile zone but dropped to about 15 ) just as a white van an decided he was in the wrong lane and cut right across me into my lane then pulled up suddenly to park !!!!!
God was working overtime yesterday .. I gave up driving, went home and just spent time in prayer \0/\0/\0/\0/\0/
