this morning driving to drop my boy off and went to pull out of a side road and a big 4x4 came screeching to a holt not 2ft off my n/s front wing
I just clearly didnt see it even though he had lights on and it was white to. swmbo was shook up I apologised to the 4x4 driver who was clearly fuming, so went on my way. 1/2 hr later I clearly cut a driver up without even looking in my mirror car behind slamming his brakes on and blasting his horn

normally I'm a average(won't say good ) but don't know what was wrong with me.

just wondered if anyone else has days like that where it's clearly your fault and no one else's.  Ian

everyone has bad days, sometimes i get in the car and it feels like my first ever driving lesson, start shaking and everything, but your not alone

The other day I was closing in on stationery traffic at some rate of knots on the motorway when my wife shouted to me watch out. I was 'looking but not seeing' if that makes sense.
Being deep in thought doesn't help either.

done that before new pants time

although seriously I think its because driving is second nature to me now I just go on auto pilot I think that's what's wrong, very dangerous indeed

yer same here, running late for work this morning I selected P instead of D.
You try driving 4 miles in heavy traffic dying for a D...

Been there, done that more than I care to admit Ian! All I can say is my Guardian Angel is overworked and definately underpaid!

 The point about going onto auto pilot is true, When I was driving to work (retired now) would get to work and not remember parts of the journey.
   Once pulled out in front of a lorry, who flashed me, turned out it was from Europe, caused all sorts of problems, turns out they use their lights different to us  never driven in Europe.   Still we all missed one another

I've done that a fair few times.

As said, everyone has bad days at everything .
