on way home last night pulled up at a junction and when i looked to see if anything was coming ,i realised that a new road sign had been arrected .
right in my field of view .
Imagine my suprise as i crept forward to have a look up the road.
A BLOODY GREAT BIG TRACTOR TOWING A BIG BLUE TRAILER TRIED TO RUN OVER MY BONNET.:doh
I decided this was to dangerous to leave so after reversing of the junction i called 999 .
spoke to a nice helpful lady ,i explained what had just taken place.
she took details and said she would send someone out to have a look.
while i was parked up a few cars came by and crossed the junction with no trouble as they were low enough to see under neath the sign.
then a 4x4 pickup came and i watched as he pulled out straight in front of a hgv.:eek:
I set of to cross the junction straight in front of a transit van, causing him to swerve to stop him hitting me.:doh
Later i realised the sign had been placed on the wrong junction .it should have been on the next junction 1.5 miles away.:eek:
CAME HOME SAME WAY TONIGHT SIGN HAD BEEN REMOVED.:clap:clap:clap:
Will go to next junction and see if sign has been re located.
