Anyway, I was the driver 341 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: in in front of you whose car you went under yesterday. 342 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: This one you said pood his pants. 343 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: No, no, no, So what happened was the guy there 344 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: was a guy on an old Forward Ltd. He was 345 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: coming up to the traffic lights. And it's around the 346 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: time they put those stupid speed cameras in at traffic lights. 347 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: So what happens. It takes the instinctive nature out of 348 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: a driver. So light goes orange. Now all the traffic 349 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: was moving through. Then all of a sudden, the guy 350 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: thought he's shatty pans jumped on the brake and the 351 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: guy behind him right has almost So that's and you 352 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: went under. Here the guy that almost ran in but 353 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: the guy in the LTD he just drove off right 354 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: through the lights anyway, he. 355 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 2: Says, I've got a hole in the back of my 356 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: car the size of your helmet. 357 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: Just joking. 358 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: Basically, what happened was the light went orange and the 359 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: current front of me stopped for he suddenly, after initially 360 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: looking like it would drive through the light. I'd planned 361 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: to drive through the light too, and i'd assume you 362 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: were going to do the same. I'm surprised I could 363 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 2: stop in time in my ordinary Corolla, and my first 364 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: instinct was to look in my mirror, and I saw 365 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: you come off, sliding, arms flailing along the road. Was 366 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: pretty shocked and got out of the car, pretty distraught. 367 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 2: Was glad to see you moving and okay, particular, I 368 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: wouldn't want to kill a. 369 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: Fellow Sharks fan.

Wrote his number plate down, but the police 375 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: weren't too interested in that. I'm not sure if the 376 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: police gave you my number or not. No need to call, 377 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: et cetera if you want to have a chat.
