Default 4 Close calls in 2 hours.
Went to pick up my car from the garage today, only a 33 mile trip but it's through some horrible streets, still this was just weird.

For some reason my sat nav started playing silly buggers. I pulled up at a junction and since the it was quiet (no cars behind me) I fiddled for 10-15 seconds and it started working so I carried on. About 10 minutes after this I was approaching a right hand blind corner when about 60-70 yards infront of me a car shot across the road and smashed into somones garden wall. The road was empty at the time which was fortunate, but if my sat nav hadn't have been playing up I'd likely have been right in the path of that guy as he crossed my lane. He was unhurt, lucid and didn't seem drunk, no idea what caused the accident. Police took my details as a witness anyway.

So I head off again, get to set of traffic lights, they turn green, I start to pull out and just happened to glance right at the exact moment some prick in a old knackered Golf ran the red. I slammed my brakes on and was lucky not to get hit.

I head off again thinking it must be a full moon tonight or something, going round an island and another prick in a riced up banger shoots across the the island without looking causing me to brake suddenly to avoid hitting him, the sound of shitty drum and bass music blasting from the car as it flew past me.

Finally get to the garage, spend half an hour filling out an accident claim form for the **** who shunted me in a traffic jam on the M5 in the hire-car and refused to give me his name or insurance details. Grab my car and discover an empty crisp packet on the back seat, mud in the footwell and an extra 30 miles on my trip counter (showing at 15 MPG aswell so somone had been caining it) but with all the crap I'd been going through with this bloody car I just couldn't be arsed to argue it out with the garage. So I set off home.

Just to make the day complete some stupid cow nattering on her mobile phone decides to overtake, going right into my path and forcing me onto the pavement to avoid a head-on collision. Now I've got to get the tracking checked on my car [cursing]

Seriously, not a good day.

Thats completely ridiculous . You should still say something about that as they effectively stole your car. Even if they claim it was a test drive for the work there is no excuse for that. F**k them.

You pay with a card? I'd call the credit card company and get them to cancel it and not pay the shop or some BS so that shop doesn't get their money.
Then go down there under the cover of darkness and paintball the sh/t out of the store and graffiti it.

Almost a year-to-the day ago, I had a similar situation.

I stopped at four-way stop sign in a **** neighborhood around the same time as a car to my right. While I yielded to him I found a crisp five dollar bill in a compartment near my dashboard. I stared at it for a few seconds and contemplated its origins until I realized that I should be moving along.

About 5 seconds after I started moving, I saw car -in the next intersection- fly through a stop sign, T-Bone smash into the car that I yielded to, and flip it over. The car that went through the light then smashed into a parked pickup and ended up on someone's lawn.

The driver of the car in front of me was not hurt, but his passenger was unconscious. The driver of the car that was now in the lawn threatened all witnesses to not call the cops because he had a gun (lulz).

I was scared to **** so I drove away and called the cops a few hundred yards down the street.

My car had been in to have a dent sorted out, they had to strip, fill and respray the panel. Just noticed that the passenger side window is covered in clear-coat. My usual easy-going demeanor is slowly cracking to reveal the inner *******... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYXYmYq3kWc

Sounds like another day where i am, makes you sick though as you start to feel
A) your the only person following the rules
B) your being punished for doing so!
