I had a nastie scare today. I had agreed to pick up a friends daughter from the dentist and take her back to school not a diffucult task I'm sure you would agree.

 

All was going fine untill a bus coming in the opposite direction for some strandge reason made a sudden stop. The rover following it was far too close to stop. I heard the brakes and saw it swing out wide to avoid hitting the now stoped bus. The Rover came skidding straight at me. The young girl in my car screamed and hid her face in her hands as I performed a emengency stop. The Large BMW behind me only just managed to stop good job he was watching. I thought my Zed as about to be sandwiched between the two of them. I know had this had happened with my old brakes I would not have been able to stop and would have hit the Rover.

 

I just wish people would stop tailgating.

 

Good job I was only doing 40mph as well.

 

All the poor kid kept saying was 'Did it hit us'

More encouragement for me to upgrade. Stock brakes are pants!! Really glad you your passenger and the car are ok.

You and me both. Ah well maybe its time for another loan!! :rofl:

Have finally got my bremdo R33 calipers. All I need now is the money for the disks, braided hose and pads. Then I can get them fitted and be able to stop as well.

Glad it all turned out OK, BTW, what brakes do you have ?

Mine are Brembo blanks 10groved and redstuff pads

Glad you're OK. Rover driver sounds like a complete moron. Better to go into the back of the bus at relatively low speed surely than swing out into the wrong lane and risk a head-on? Idiot. Shouldn't have been so close behind the bus in the first place.
