Just got home from an awesome random drive over to Pateley Bridge and back (for any West Yorks people it's the road from Otley, through Norwood, past the RAF base and up towards Brimham Rocks), and literally had the nearest miss I have EVER had in a car...
On the way back into Leeds, stopped at a set of lights crossing over a dual carriageway, lights went green and I set off. Looked to my right halfway across in time to see an Impreza blast through the red light at what must have been at least 100mph in a 40 zone. Floored it and managed to get out of the way at the last minute, the Scooby swerved, went into a massive tank slapper and spun just before a roundabout, stopped, then shot away tyres smoking....
If he hadn't swerved, or I hadn't seen him running the light, he'd have hit my drivers door at 100mph+, and I'm pretty sure I'd have taken my last breath. Laughed it off at the time after losing my rag and briefly attempting to chase him (stage 1 DT v modded WRX
), but sat thinking about it...
DAMN!
