I'm totally gutted. Driving home from the East Coast yesterday evening in the Stilo with Mum and Sister. Passed through Walkington near Beverley heading towards North Cave i catch up with 3 other cars and slow down to 50 ish mph. For those of you who know the road it's a good unrestricted "A" road with good surfaces and visibilty.The car in front is trying to pass the other 2 and keeps building up speed and then braking. My mum comments about it and why does he keep braking when yet again his brake lights come on only this time and without any warning he has made an emergency stop !! Not expecting this and being too late to react sees me sliding in to the back of the car in front. He doesn't stop but carries on driving with me in pursuit flashing my remaining headlight. (the other 2 cars have driven off in to the distance.) It eventually pulls over and out jumps a young male driver and female passenger. "what are you playing at making an emrgency stop in the middle of no where" says i. "the car in front swerved to miss a deer and i reacted by making an emergency stop." says the driver. I get a pen and paper to swap details and the driver asks why i want his details. I tell him 'cos he was driving to which he tells me it's his girlfriends car and i need her details. I get both occupants details and phone numbers and the girl believes her insurance covers her but not sure about the driver. He says "he'll have to check" his insurance. Hmmm. Sounds a bit dodgy to me. My car is still driveable but the front end is mashed and bonnet looks out of line with the offside wing. Bloody wonderful.
