just took family out for kfc for sons b/day , had a good time watched the waves breaking over the rocks while eating kfc

but on way to take daughters b/f home took a short cut, done this many time over the years family use this road when i was a child

it a single rd or very steep hill quarter of way down , we spot another car coming up

all well and good but its either i go bk or they do, they just sat there

so i put handbrake on and put her into reverse nothing hill is to steep, i tried again getting a bit frustrated now as other car is just sitting there

we were about 5oyds apart so i rolled forward so they no i was coming down

so the driver started reversing but ended up in the hedge i just sat waiting while they sorted them selves out by now there is another car behind me

instead of coming forward the driver kept going and reversed out of hedge damaging her wing mirror eventually there was room for me to go past
so down the hill i go until i got level she swore at me so i got out and said i couldnt reverse coz it would of burnt my clutch out but all the male passenger kept doing was shouting at me

i manage to carry on but am feeling really like **** at this moment

i just wish that i never even choose to go that way

Stupid people.

Don't feel bad.. it's not your fault that they are too stupid to realise that they needed to reverse, and that on a hill that steep, there was nothing you could do.

I'm sorry you had to receive their bad language.

thank you red devil, thats what i told her......... but she has been beating herself up ever since we got off that hill..........
im glad their mirror was broke, if they are that stupid, that they couldnt see that us reversing up that steep hill was a no go, they deserve a broken mirror.....
and for the swearing at you, they need a can of whoop a.s.s. opened up on them......

Don't feel bad. I know it's hard not to, but it isn't your fault. I think the driver was just mad because she messed up!

Rule of the road, at least here: "When on steep, narrow or single lane roads, the downhill traffic has the right of way over uphill traffic. If you are going uphill and you see oncoming traffic, pull over to the side of the road, well out of the way and either slow down or stop."
