I inadvertantly caused a three car bingle on the weekend.
I was at the top of a BEAUTIFUL twisty piece of road just as it turns to gravel. I got off to rest my arms and have cigarette when a 4wd came BARRELING off the gravel far too fast. I gave them the 'I'm fine thanks' wave, they waved back, all was fine. A second 4WD came off, I waved, they waved, a THIRD 4WD behind them, waves all round.
First 4WD thinks, 'maybe that wave was for help' and slams the brakes on. Second 4WD is still caught in 'HEY, was that a CHICK?' slams into first, third slams into second which is now surgically attached to first.
Pan back to bike rider, backing up and thinking 'f***, they always blame the bike rider!'
It was like an AAMI ad.
Luckily no-one was hurt and I managed to difuse the situation by being first aid trained and taking charge before anyone else thought to stop me.
I'm thinking about painting three 4WDs on my tank.
