*note: no gramming or spelling checked.

as i was starting to drive up the incline (i was 3rd from the stop) going to turn left through the crossing, just as i was about the cross the white line some idiot just starts walking into my car out of the bushes. obviously we connected and my left mirror was taken off, as i looked in the rear window i thought the guy was ****ed as he went about on the tar in his method of falling down.

going down the road as i couldn't directly stop in the crossing or just after it as their were no room for with all the the road works going on, i drove about a block and stopped, put on my hazards, got out and started to walk back to see of the person was ok and get my mirror parts.

a pon a arriving after scanning him and the immidiate area and seeing the person was still going about a sorry state. i picked up my mirror and asked if he is ok and which he replied he is not and he now seemed to need a doctor immidiatly with cash paid upfront. which i inturn replied geez dude i only have about R2 in my wallet and nothing in the bank.

then i got to see his wounds of death the reason why i needs to go or he is going to ****ing die right there. it was just a minor fleshy wound on the palm just after the wrist, which for some strange reason lacked blood or any bleeding. it only was just flesh ripped off and bruising.

so i couldn't see any broken bones or any thing that resulted in him needing medical attention right now or else... so i then said listen dude you should watch the **** where you walk or you will get killed off - period. the argument continued and i said well im sorry i have no money and ***ed him out and started to walked at fast past back to my car after rescanning him and the area.

when arriving at my car he was magically was right next to the other side of the car ready to get in or get money or something- i just though yeah ****ing right, if you could get up that fast, follow my exact walking speed there is obvioulsy nothing wrong.

strangely enough after i properly investigated side of my car i could find no blood, but there was this small rounded splat on my mirriors back end which made me to believe that his so called wounds of death on his plam was allready there and he had his hand in the way making the blood spat on the smooth back side of the mirror.

bull****ter? i believe so, pretty hard to just walk out of the bushes over the street and into my car; especially if i am the 3rd one driving towards the crossing.

geez...

Yea, the pedestrian always thinks they are right even if they cross the road without looking first. I am sick to death of these morons who constantly do it and put my car at risk of being dented. If they don't look where they are going they WILL get hit eventually and the poor driver will probably end up taking the blame.

This happened to one of my staff a few years back - in a company car. Unfortunately the con artist misjudged the speed at which the car was travelling and instead of connecting either the side mirror he hit the front of the car. Dead.

Police arrived, recognised the con artist and tried to reassure my man, but he was traumatised for weeks and needed counselling. He was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless driving, but the state prosecutor dropped all charges.

We were told that it is called "skittles".

I about 8-10 years ago some guy tried to do this with my fathers car, eventually he said he won't pay him, the bugger pulled out the aerial, inevitably he got a ass kicking... afterwords he threaten to take it to the police station, after he realized it didn't scare my father the guy scrambled.
