Had a close call today,heading for home doing 40 mph along the main A road cattle trailer on the back when I had one of those " it only a slow old Land rover coming along,I can get out before he gets here" syndrome.
Only trouble this time it was a bus! :eek: and how the hell the driver thought the bus's arse would clear the junction before I got there I don't know.:mad:
Good condition brakes on 90 and trailer and high grip road surface saved the day although things got a bit squirrely for a while.
If I had a pound for all the times this has happened recon I could purchase a full set of tires for Landy and trailer.

I thought it was just me! Crazy how often it happens (I think the Epsom Green is equivalent to an invisibility cloak too....) - glad you were on the ball, the brakes are usually pretty good, just as well! Cheers, A
 
Funny how drivers can't see you in a six foot high vehicle, even with the headlights on. Buggers. I don't mind the ones who pull out and floor it so much - it's the pull out and dawdle brigade who get my goat.
