OK, so i nearly died today!

[sfr rob]

hey guys, I would like to share with you my exciting day today!

I was coming up from Woodside (east Gippsland) to Rosedale, about 45 min away.
I was about 3 KM out of rosedale when i see an oncoming car (light blue ford laser sedan) speed up ( 100km/h zone ) about 100 meters ahead of me and dive into my lane, at first i thought " oh must be a group of d!ck head kids stuffing around, then i thought maybe he is going to turn off the road....... etc etc..

then as he got to about 50m away i thought oh crap, this dude wants to kill himself, me and my missus.
anyway, I gave the anchors a good stomp and got the car under 80km/h and started to move off the road onto the rough stuff, as i started moving off the road this bloke swerved even harder to try hit me head on.

picture it as.. a 2 way road, 100km/h small shoulders on either side of the road with not too much room for error.

So, i had my car half off the road trying to avoid this moron who was coming at me HELL fast!! I swerved a bit more to counter his swerve towards me and as he was about 5 meters ahead i flung my car HARD left.
Got my car about 1 & a half meters off the shoulder of the road with no more room to play with, and managed to get out of a HUGE accident.

I doubt you could slide a piece of paper between our mirrors it was that close, doing around the 100km/h mark!


I think:
If i came to a stop he would have hit me head on.. at excessive speeds.
If i stayed in my lane and drove like an inexpericed girl would... i would be dead right now..
If i met this guy about 100 meters earlier on this road i would be dead, because there was no way to avoid an accident given that the road cuts through a hill with no shoulders.



once he past me he just kept speeding and drove back into his lane, i was waiting for him to brake and stop or something but he kept going.
Since our mobiles were out of range i made the decision to floor it to the cop shop which wasnt far way to hopefully get this guy off the road before he kills someone, & i arrived to an EMPTY cop shop.

then made another quick trip to my sisters house and got the cops on the phone, made my report and waited for a call back.

15 minutes later they call me up and say, we found the car that tried to colide with you wrapped around a tree.
So I jumped in my car and got back out to where it all went down.
and sure enough, there is a light blue, what used to be a laser sedan, sitting half way into a tree.




Apprently the ***** survived and was taken to hospital.


i hope you die ar-se hole!

spooky thing was just last night i was talking to my girlfriend about when you drive, you have to have 100% faith in other drivers, especially with on coming traffic, because if someone is in that state of mind to commit suicide they don't really care who they hurt along with them self.

now tell me that is a coincidence!




Has anyone else had a close shave like that before?
