After getting out of this problem, I hit another – a car pulled in front of me and parked on the pavement, when told, all he said was "back me out". Then I came to the island of trees and bushes outside the betting office, these are growing halfway across the path making it hard for people to pass.

Setting off back home, I came up behind a young lady, pressing my horn and shouting "coming by on your left"; she took no notice. Coming up level with her, I asked: "Did you not hear me?" Pulling out the plugs in her ears, she said "No, I had these in, but I was walking on the footpath." She was not bothered, she heard no warnings of danger, just her music.

Each time I go out, it's like an obstacle course, and I am glad to get home in safety. We don't ask a lot, just for you to think of others and respect as we respect you, we did not ask for our problems, we try to make the best of them.

If we let down their tyres or knock-ed them over we would be weighed down with compensation claims, but who would be in the wrong?
