What cheeses me off

Packets of wet-wipes!

Try finding the next single wipe… maybe get one, or three. Then you have to stuff the surplus ones back in.

They do it right for tissues… is it that hard for the wet version??

The wetness of the wipes adds adhesion to the problem you mention, though forcing it through a restricted opening (similar to the cylinder of screen wipes) can help that out.

Also, wet wipes tend to be contained in a container packet that is constantly pressed down, compounding the adhesion.

I get you completely, though.

Cars that auto lock after you've opened a door.
Went to the shops on the weekend. Loaded my groceries into the boot, then opened the passenger door to deposit my handbag. As I walked around to the drivers side, the car locked itself (with the key inside)! Thank goodness I had my phone in my hand but I did not appreciate having to drag my flu-ravaged family to the shops to rescue me.

And you obviously don't have a car that allows you to open the door with the keys inside like mine (in fact I've never tried it but I don't think it would autolock with the keys inside)

Not what you need right now

Fortunately its also not my car. Once you open a door on my car, it doesnt relock itself.

My (Subi) car won't lock if keys inside. When travelling if I've left a spare inside I cannot lock the door.

I've pruned the video. I sent an email to the company and it was the owner. He has apologised and said I was in his blind spot. What do ya reckon?

In his blind spot video.

I guess its a pretty big blind spot if you dont bother to look?

That was pretty much ChatGPt's assessment of the whole thing.

So chat reckons I should report to the police. Clear evidence. The driver has said my hard braking saved him from injury. Chat estimates I decelerated (braked) as follows:

• "At 11:05:51 you’re at about 34 km/h.
• By 11:05:52 you’re at 29 km/h.
• By 11:05:53 you’re at 23 km/h, as he is entering across you. (So 2 seconds to recognise, react, drop 11 kms/h)
• You continue taking speed off while he and then the trailer cross your path.
• You don’t make a violent evasive swerve that could have created another accident.

The absence of a collision shouldn’t disguise the severity of the incident. The collision was avoided because you took successful evasive action, not because his manoeuvre turned out to be safe."

Would you report to police given acknowledgement of blame and apology.

I probably wouldnt bother. These things happen regularly (although they shouldnt) and while he's in the wrong, he has acknowledged as such.

Yes. Chat can get a bit bossy sometimes. Reckon he won't do it again either.

No, I wouldn't bother. Whilst I think his excuse is garbage, there was no accident, you've expressed your displeasure and all's well that ends well. I can't see the police taking any action as no crime or infringement has technically been committed, and if we were to all be referred to the authorities for punishment after every little driving error we've made, then all of us would have had our licenses cancelled by now.
