Just headed home from a family visit in a nearby town. Sister is driving and I am in the back next to 5month old dd.
Come to a roundabout where we stop until it is safe to pull out. At the opening to the right there is a van indicating to turn immediately left off of the roundabout.
My sister starts to pull out as there is no oncoming traffic from the right when a supermarket delivery van comes FLYING past the indicating van (who is now pulling off the roundabout) didn't even pause or slow down at the roundabout and when flying straight through. my sister had to slam on the breaks, she wasn't going too fast of course because she was just pulling out. We were all a little jarred by our seat belts because of the sudden stop though.
The speed the van was going was INSANE and its making me feel sick to think that if we had pulled out a second earlier we would of been in a serious crash, probably killed by the van.
I know these vans have very intelligent monitoring systems so although we didn't get the licence plate, the surveillance company will be able to track the van in question.
I need to calm down before i make a complaint. DD seems OK - she was whining a little earlier which is rare from her - considering taking her to OOH docs just for a wee check over.
Am I being insane? I am very shaken up by this and realise i could be totally blowing out of proportion, and i am aware that the main thing is that none was injured. Cant help thinking that that driver is a danger to themselves and others.
Spitting nails here!!!
