I just caused an accident...	Thu, 14 August 2003 14:54

was just "racing" a guy in his au falcon down pennant hills road ("racing", because my shocks are rooted so I have to take it fairly carefully). around the big sweeping corner near the pub and pennant hills station, all I saw was his lights suddenly sweep from right to left across my rear-view mirror, then he was suddenly at 45 degrees to the left gutter (going about 100 here). big over-correct, 270 degree spin, over the medium strip (thank god no oncoming traffic, as 3 trucks came past shortly afterward), then another 90 degree spin and into the right side gutter facing the oncomning traffic. went back to check he was ok, turns out it was his 3rd race ever, and driving his sisters car. He probably figured he could just match my speed round the corner. Felt pretty sorry for the guy, he'd been out studying for his exam tomorrow ... obviously didn't know the car & pretty inexperienced driver. car seemed ok from what I could see. front right tire was flat and the rim scratched to hell, but no other damage. He must've just touched the right side gutter, 'cause the wheels didn't buckle or anything. He copped a bump to the head from the door glass, but was fine. edit: also glad he wasn't beside me when he lost it, or he would've taken me out too.
