I saw him he didnt see me, he pulled out from a side street without looking

This is why you're always watching the wheels of cars at the side of the road. First time they move, you brake like mad! I suppose that knowledge only comes with experience though...

Hope the injuries weren't too bad though, and that the driver got nailed for it.

Jesus, the Burns Head. . . .I met the bird I lived with for 13 years in there. . . . I had taken the young lady I was with at the time in there for a steak, and I ended up with the waitress who served us. . . . Memories, anyways, classic cars.....
