STUPID DRIVERS

I really hate it when people do not concentrate when they are driving!
I was heading over to Bec's yesterday as we were going to visit her niece's headstone at Lilydale & then go on to do some shopping.
I had nearly made it all the way there...i was 5 minutes from Bec's when i encounted "the stupid driver".
I was heading down Springvale Road which is a 3 lane main road. It was pretty busy so there were cars everywhere. I was pulling up to a set of traffic lights which were red & i had no-one in my lane. I was braking & i noticed that a car in the lane next to me began to pull out, but then he stopped. So i carried on & then all of a sudden he decided to pull out into my lane & then stop smack bang in my lane!!!
What he was trying to do was go into the 2 right hand turning lanes....but he didn't do it quick enough.
He stopped in my lane to check if there were any cars coming into the turning lanes....you would have thought he would have checked before he came into my lane. I am a bright yellow car, how can you miss me?!
So i had to think quick & slam on my breaks (& toot my horn at the same time)
Instead of driving away he just sat there like he was waiting for me to hit him!
My tyres were screaching & there was smoke everywhere. Luckily i managed to stop about a foot away from him so i didn't have a crash.
He was asian & had a child in the car as well.
At first i was so angry that someone could be so stupid, so i kind of yelled at him a bit then just burst into tears.
I was so scared that i was going to have an accident (which would make it my first) & scared because i have never in my life been that close to hitting someone.
I was just thinking to myself what could have happened, especially if i had Charlii in the car....we would have been toast!
I had to pull over & give Clint a call straight away to calm me down.
I then rang mum to give Charlii a big kiss for me......thank god is all i can say.
I just makes you realise just how short life really is.....please everyone give your kids & family a big kiss everyday & tell them how much you love them.....you never know what could happen.

Hey honey how are you doing? Thanks so much for sending me your website. I really love looking at everything. I just love the photos. I really miss you guys. I just wish I could meet Charlii soon. It looks as of now we won't be coming to Australia as soon as we thought. It's because of a visa deal. i will explain over the phone. That whole deal with the stupid driver is terriable. I am glad your ok. I can't handle idiots like that. Well I just wanted to let you guys know I say hi and Josh and I are always thinking of you. We miss you a lot. Thanks again for being you. Send me love to Clint and your family. Give Charlii a big hug and kiss and tell I can't wait to meet her. Talk to you soon. Take care
