"Oh Shit" moments...

I nearly got run over by a left turning HGV as a pedestrian last night. Fucking scary.

A huge Royal Mail lorry wae indicating to turn left at a crossroads. I noted that it was going to turn and stepped back a full ten feet from the kerb just in case it mounted the pavement.

It did. The rear wheels came further than ten feet over the kerb and in a matter of seconds I had to find an escape route as there was a fence behind me. The driver had no idea that I was there.

If there was an elderly person or somebody not paying attention there instead of me it would have been curtains. Shat me right up.

Christ. Glad you're ok. Will you be letting Royal Mail know?
