Minding my own business yesterday afternoon travelling at about 70mph on the nearside lane where the M40 / M25 exit splits clockwise / anticlockwise when some eejit in the outside lane at the side of me suddenly veers left and hits the rear offside wheel / bumper area of my car sending me skidding down the carriageway.
Look in my rear view mirror I watched them continue onto the clockwise section of the M25 seemingly oblivious to what has just happened. Luckily it appears to be only paint damage to the bumper & wheel although I'm going to get it properly checked out for suspension damage. Needless to say I have reported it to the police and hopefully the cameras will have picked the whole thing up.
The scariest part is that I was in my smart ForTwo, not the E-class; Mercedes clearly have a very good ESP system as without it I'd not have been able to control events (regardless of how capable I might believe my driving capabilities are).
So to the owner of a dark blue V-reg C200 saloon, may the police come knocking at your door very soon...
