Cars"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

The day after I was wed, about a month and a half agoWe were driving out of a small Australian town - Hawks Nest, NSW - at lunchtime on Sunday. We were approaching a T junction at about 40-50mph and a small car was sat waiting there. Then it pulled out a bit. I thought "That'll be a squeeze". Then he pulled out some more and covered the whole of my side of the road.
We swerved. We missed him. It was very, very close. He pulled out into the road, turning right, and then stopped his car. I went out to speak to him. He said "I'm very sorry - I am German".
We shook hands, he drove off. I don't consider being German an excuse for not looking where you're going, but they do drive on the wrong side of the road over there. Before he left, he also asked if my kids were ok. My best man and his wife, who were in the back of the car, thought that was pretty funny.
