There has been some road works on my way to work just as you come into a 40 mph area near the Village of Machwiel. Anyway on my way home i come bowelling through the twistys at about 80mph (on my private stretch of road) and round the corner only to discover that the roadworks have moved to about 80m from the bend as opposed to 500m.

 

No sign warning roadworks iminent. Just a line of stationary traffic fortunately for me there was nothing coming the otherway due to the roadworks time delayed traffic lights. I managed th come to a sceaching holt about 4 cars down from the end.

 

It took an hour to sloose my underware out.

BLIMBY, that was a close one.

nearly done that myself comming round a corner and stationary traffic due to sheep crossing the road. a case of close eyes and clentch

Glad to see you and your car got through it ok, close one.

Yuk, nightmare situation, glad you and car are okay and no damage.

 

We have deer and every time I take a blind bend I worry one's going to be jumping out of the bushes.

A mate of mine did that once when I was in the car with him. Twas years ago and he had a sh1tty 1.6 Golf. Haring round this country road we cam upon a row of stationarry traffic and he jammed on the anchors and took to the other side of the road. We shot past most of the queue of traffic before finally coming to rest face to face with a Range Rover that was slowly (luckily) pottering along in the other direction. Wouldn't surprise me if when he got rid of that Golf there were still indents from my fingers in the armrest of the passenger door.

Yep there is a strange bit mark in the seat and it wasn't my teeth that did it.

 

I've made a mental note. Road works are not stationary and if they're there in the morning, by tea time they maybe closer, but the numpties working them will not think to move the road works adead signs further up the road.
