I went to a business place today to pick up some packages. The parking lot was full so I decided to pull behind the cars, out of the street, and wait until someone moved, knowing it wouldn’t be long.
I then realised that the SUV to my left put his car in reverse. I was about to change gears when he started backing up, straight into my car. I started to panic as he kept moving backwards and did a quick calculation. Even if I got my car in reverse I still wouldn’t be able to get out of his way in time. So I let my horn do the talking and honked frantically hoping he would hear me.
Thank god he did. He stopped inches away from my car and waited just long enough for me to get out of his way, then reversed into the street and drove off. Didn’t even acknowledge me. Next time check your side mirrors buddy. Driving 101.
