Dear Little Miss ABC-1234
I am delighted that your text conversation was so important to you that you, who were stopped behind a car waiting to turn, decided to as long as you flashed your indicator once, that absolved you of the responsibility of doing a head-check and actually looking to see if anyone might actually driving at 60kph in the neighbouring lane.
Thanks only to the fact that I have excellent brake pads - and I almost had to put my entire (and very substantial it is too) body weight on the brake pedal to have them kick in in time - and that I was able to steer into the gutter (almost mounting it) I avoided having your car to wear as a shiny new hood ornament on my own vehicle.
If you're wondering why I didn't sound my horn, it's because I had a choice between that and preventing what would have been a particularly costly accident for you and your insurance company. Luckily for you, I chose the latter. I hope you noticed my friendly 'wave' as I went past you some blocks further on.
Dear CS readers, should the number plate I have mentioned above happen to mean anything to anyone, feel free to tell the little bitch that she owes me a new pair of underwear and new brake pads at the very least. Feel free also to warn her that I am very likely to dob her in to the police for using her mobile phone while driving. While that fine is likely to be less than the excess of her insurance would have been had I not been able to avoid the accident, I live in hope that she might think twice next time.
Heading off for that change of underwear now,
A very pissed-off KB
