The first: the neighbour (though he denied it), scratched the side of the car, either with a bike or with the folding caravan he was putting the bike upon. The car was parked in a spot. The second: I was in India, got home to find a huge scratch, all the way from the tail bumper to the front bumper, on the passenger side. Probably a driver that miscalculated his turn and took half my paint with it. The third: another driver sided to drive into the side of my car. Do those count against my ability to drive a car? I have never been stopped by police. Can't wait till they finally ask me to take an alcohol blowing test, as I don't drink any alcohol! Never got a speeding ticket, nor a red light ticket. Nor any other ticket. Quote:
Never been clamped (I presume you mean a wheel clamp because you parked wrong?), never been broken into (though, I did leave the window wide open twice now, once in Pecs (Hungary) and once in Cologne (Germany), never un over anyone (probably would never get into a car if that happened!), never killed a hedgehog, braked often enough for a hare, but never ran over one, never hit a deer (though my husband did, once! Deer ran away...), pheasants also I've never had under my wheels, nor cats, ducks or doves (though those three often try to...) I must be an awesome driver! |

I'm a very good driver. I don't even need to use both hands to drive. I'm also very skilfull. Sending text messages with my smartphone while driving is easy peasy. I also never arrive late, as I can drive very fast.

Erm have currently got 6 points for speeding and took a course to prevent getting another 3. Historically have had on average at least 3 speeding points at all times but full no claims for 15+ years, one accident two years ago non-fault.
Can reverse park into most reasonable spaces. But was always told no matter how good a driver you are, there is always some wally on the road that could do you harm |

in my list of desires that money can buy, at the first place there is a driver.
Spoiler:
my most recurrent open eyed dream contemplates owning and using for transportation a light armored vehicle. Spoiler:
I am crazingly considering the possibility of moving to a country where inhabitants use the bicycle to go to work. Danemark (30%) looks like a good choice. I have also the impression that they are more tolerant with cigarette smokers than others. That would be a good plus. Spoiler:

Hmm, last time I was there, they drove on the right side... I think you're confused!

No, we drive on the right. Once, they used to drive on the left in Sweden. Only if you are a very, very good boy |
