Sometimes, something happens that reaffirms your belief in the universal Justice of the universe. (call it Karma, Fate, or whatever your metaphysical name for the concept is!).
Here is todays Universal Justice.
Over the weekend there was snow, lots and lots of snow. Everything is under a lovely blanket of whiteness!
This morning as I got ready to drive to work, I realised my car was encased under around 6 to 7 inches of snow, the outer covering of which had frozen into a hard shell. I cleaned off the windows and proceeded to drive to work.
Now I should point out that my journey takes me over the moors, the mountains, and some very twisty roads. These roads have several crashes a week even in the best conditions, and today was in no means the best of conditions.
Therefore due to the snow and ice, I was driving at a safe and reasonable speed. The idiot behind me was not, he was tailgating and trying to force me to drive faster. (I hate idiots like that!).
Well as we were driving I heard a bump.. bang.. bump.. bang on the roof of the car. The next second my rear window is completely white as the snow from my roof all falls off at the same time. We are talking a block of snow, approximately 1.5meters by 1.75meters by 6 inches all falling off in one piece.
What made it even better was the fact the idiot behind me was so close it either hit the road directly in front of him, or bounced off his bumper. Either way the outer shell shattered and all that soft fluffy snow billowed out in a huge cloud blinding the driver, and forcing him to pull off the side of the road.
When he eventually caught back up with me, he drove at a reasonable speed, keeping a safe distance away from my car. :0)
So Fate had taught him a safe lesson.
Sometimes life is good!
I realise that their may be laws about driving a car on the public highways without safely clearing all the snow off first. Therefore, for legal reasons, I can neither confirm nor deny the truth of the previous series of events.
My legal team advises me that, this story may or may not be true! 🙂
