So he's pulled halfway out of the side road and sat across your path on a blind brow waiting for a gap in the traffic coming in the opposite direction?? Gotta be him at fault if it's really a blind brow. If it's not and you were going too fast for the conditions then it might be different.
Gutted for you - clearly a lot of hard work gone into that car.
Really pisses me off when people pull across and block your path then they can't make the full turn and then look at you as if they've got every right to be sat there. f**k off you selfish cnuts.
