Free Brits Health Service - yum. Isn't this a reason to buy better insurance or emigrate ?
Had an "almost" encounter of such kind this summer. Near my house is an intersection where you arrive to a stop. Main traffic goes over a shallow hill from left to right, or right to left in front of you. Speed limit is 45. I check left and right and left again - all clear - and turn left. A second later, end of my left turn, I "feel" a fender next to my knee, and hear squealing brakes. The guy must have crossed hill and intersection at 80+, so I couldn't see him. There was a b s o l u t e l y nothing I could have done.
Drugs ? booze ? stupidity ?
Luckily my guardian angel was on duty.
