Near Death ExperiencesLast time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

Feckin' Truck Drivers!!!!They're bloody dangerous! I should know .. I am one. This is a very long story so I'm not going to tell it. Suffice to say that after having had a pretty busy working week I failed to notice a low bridge sign and drove my 44 tonne articulated lorry into it. The resulting carnage took 6 hours to clear up. Trains were diverted (it was a railway bridge) and I managed to stop an armed robbery too (another VERY long story).
The lorry was smashed to peices, turned on it's side and spread over 1/2 a mile of road (which ended covered up in deisel too) I had to kick the windscreen through to get out and walked away with a grazed ear.
I would like to appologise for all other lorry drivers ... our bosses make us do silly ammounts of work - we're not all twunts.
(That week I spent 127 hours behind the wheel - I wish this was an exageration, but it's not)
