This morning I nearly ran over Mrs M & Myself.
How did I manage this? Simple just lazy and complacent.
Fitting a new rear Fog light to my Pajero. Mrs M asks if she may help.
Light fitted wiring done I ask her go round the back of the cafeteria to test their operation along with the reversing lights. I elect to putting car in reverse the Drive.
As I jump out the Pajero it starts moving back wards and rapidly.
Mrs tried to reach in and grab the handbrake. WRONG WRONG WRONG.
She got hooked by the door, spun around and dragged underneath the truck which, I could not hold onto.
By some miracle, she survived with no physical injuries but was extremely shaken up mentally.
The car managed to reverse back, across our driveway into our neighbours fence, which brought it to a standstill.
A horrible thing to go through.
Complacency was the problem. Wallowing in a trough of self confidence.
A garage fool of tools. But Mr Smarty Pants ignores all of these.
FAIL.
