Coming home from the gym, and a young lad rides his bike right out infront of me with his nan, i was only about 10-15 mph on the inside (empty) lane, the right hand lane was stopped for the traffic lights and a BIG blue van at the front of the que, lights turned green as i was still moving, got to the lights and a small 4 year old lad was riding his bike across the the road infront of the van, i slam on and stop within about 2 meters (if that) swerve the the left of him and smak his bike!! the child fell off and landed about 2 foot from his bike with nothing but a grazed leg!

I called the ambulance and the police showed up aswell. breathalized me and went on their merry way.

to say i am shaken up is an understatemant, i feel sick! if i still had my old gti brakes then he would have been on my bonnet and into my windscreen!!  :surprised: :sad1:

Janner_Sy:
thank god for that.  id hate to hit a kid in my car.  at least the kid is ok, you've justified the brakes, so last question how is the car, superficial damafge of a dent??

vwrascal:

the cars OK, just a small scratch on the bumper, but it blends in with the stone chips!  :signLOL:

I never drive fast on residential roads, only motorway sprints and nurburg fun!
