Overtaken by a mobility scooter!

There are no bounds to the sights I see in Blaenau Gwent and this is one such occasion that took place a few weeks ago.

Basically, I was heading into Tredegar during my lunch break and took the slower but more direct route into town, through Ashvale and over the long stretch of speed bumps which actually do little but cause people  to rev their engines hard for 5 seconds, then brake, the rev, then brake, then rev....you get the picture.

I had just gone over the first two bumps and was about to rev towards the next, when out of the corner of my left eye, I saw what could only be described as a blur of maroon career down the hill on my left, cut the junction out at the bottom and completely cut me up!  

Obviously I braked suddenly to stop as I did not want to run over the maniac driver within the highly protective plastic rain sheeting.

Also I was worried about how it would look on a potential insurance claim form.......stupid person trapped under my bonnet in an enlarged umbrella on wheels.

At first, after the initial shock of the go fast maroon blur, I then quickly understood why the person had risked their life to get in front of my car because as they proceeded to drive in a straight line down the road, cutting out all of the bumps, there was almost a palpable cloud of smugness enveloping the scooter that said "Ha - one of the benefits you lot in your big cars will never be able to achieve"
