Lucky or Not

[White Room]

Had to take the car for an mot today, use a particular one about 6-7 miles where a guy I've known for years does it and have a general chat.
Parked the car outside in there parking area waiting for the tester, no problems until he (the tester) drove the car to test the brakes when one of the brake pipes burst, fluid everywhere.
The roads I use to get to the test centre have fast moving traffic coming off the M1 motorway upto towards Hatfield.
Do I think I was lucky...bloody right I was, timing was just right rather than being up the back end of traffic and not being able to stop.

Christ, that was lucky! Glad you're OK pal. Go and buy a lottery ticket!!

Should imagine it failed on the brakes..

Al sorted now with new brake pipes, take it back to the mot centre tomorrow as you only have 10 days after it fails to get a free retest.

You were very lucky Mark!
The worst thing of all is, Dan would have had to look for a new moderator

 

[hmtiling]

Yep, very lucky indeed
