So I just had a near miss in my car. Driving onto my estate and was distracted for a split second by DS resulting in me nearly crashing head on into a car coming off the estate.
I reversed a little and drove level with the other car, a fairly young driver who asked me "what the hell was that?!" I explained the distraction and apologised profusely. He then apologised in return despite not having anything to apologise for and said it gave him a fright. I checked he was OK, he said yes and off he went.
The whole thing from start to end took a matter of minutes.
In the meantime a van has driven up behind me and instantly started beeping his horn. He lives just around the corner from me so as he parked up I stopped and said "sorry about that, we'd just nearly run into each other & I was just checking he was OK"
His reply was "well you should learn to drive or get off the bloody roads"
AIBU to have called him a dick?! I'm fully expecting everyone to say yes but it's been cathartic to write it down anyway!
