i was travellin to north wales a while back with a mate....nice long a roads all the way so we were havin fun nippin along
then the road suddenly narrows by a railing sort of thing...and a feckin big truck is coming the other way...
for a split secong i had vivid visions of the car being crushed between the two...it was that horrible feelin of oh my god im gunna crash!!!!
it was beyond stoppin it was fully commited...just kinda shut my eyes...my god how we got thru there i will never ever know there must have been about 1 inch per side....bearin in mind this was at about 50mph
we just looked at each other for a few seconds then pissed ourselves |

Some of the back roads round my way are pretty bad, not resurfaced since the mid 90's no doubt  |
