Seriously.
On our way home yesterday evening around 6pm from camping with our new camper in tow. My two beautiful girls in the back playing Uno and the missus chatting away to me. I came thundering down a long downhill run ( just before the Flowerdale pub, coming from Yea) and just started to turn into a long sweeping right hand bend at 100k's and the wife said something to me(can't remember what it was), I looked at her and then the look of terror came over her face and she screamed. I looked ahead and some dickhead was heading towards us in our lane! I had no where really to go except for off the road and into the dirt, I flashed my lights with the spotties and 40inch light bar beaming and swerved. Now my trailer weighs in at just over a tonne empty, we were fully loaded, car and all.
I tried to swerve quick but smooth to avoid flicking the trailer out and having it drag me sideways. For some reason the big fella upstairs must have been looking over me that evening as I really don't know how the fcuk I got out of it. This bloody shook me up and I couldn't stop thinking about it all the way home and even today. Hence why I am still up now at nearly 2am.
If we had hit that car head on, the other driver would have been killed for sure and I dare to say we would have been too.
Luckily my kids were too busy playing cards to notice and see what happened as this is something you don't want to experience with your kids.
Just take care everyone out on the roads this chrissy. Especially on the single lane country roads.
Cheers.
