Scary moment....

What's the scariest moment you've ever had while driving? I had mine today - pulled off the motorway to come to a stop at a roundabout, but my shoelace was caught on the clutch pedal, so it was physically impossible to press the clutch! Of course, I ended up stalling. Not a really serious consequence, but imagine if it had been the brake I couldn't press....

or that one time when i was driving and i changing the cd and the road curved but i forgot to curve and i went up on the curb and instead of hitting the break i accidently pressed my foot on the gas and i hit a firehydrant.
My scarriest time driving was when was passenger in our car and an old granny just pulled out on us. What a mess the car was in, it didnt half give me a scare. We were only doing 25 ish mph cos it was in a villiage, dread to think of the consequenses if we had been doing 70 on the motorway or sommat.
I've had it happen more than once. Although I don't really get scared. I get fucking angry at those bloody bastards who can't drive properly. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
As for me, well, we were doing 75mph on a dual carriageway, and as we came to slow for a roundabout the brake line fractured, which was fun doing 50mph round the roundabout. Thank God there wasnt owt on it...
You can take the car out of gear without having to press the clutch pedal you know. Though it can be tricky if the engine revs are very high, or very low. Try it sometime.

I don't want to ever do that again!
Heh that remind anyone else of a film? Was on last night as a clue.
