I was just in my car with my daughter indicating to turn left at a junction in a village near where I live when a big black Peugot reversed out and into me despite my screams and beeping!
Anyway - I quickly manoeuvred my car into a parking space and jumped out to confront the MALE driver as I could see that he was trying to make a quick get away up a side street. He saw me motioning to him ( I was flailing my arms about under my red poncho and giving him the evil eye) so he stopped the car, got out and started walking towards me.
Meanwhile- back at the ranch - his car is rolling out into the middle of the road straight into the busy 5.30pm traffic! I called out to him to look at what he was doing and he slowly tried to get back into the moving car. There were dozens of onlookers coming out of the shops and surrounding cafés with their mouths wide open to watch. He got back out of his car which continued to roll around slowy out of control - cars and lorries were screeching their brakes on to avoid it.
By then I realised that the bloke was either completely off his trolley or absolutely stoned out of his head. Either way I decided to hop back into my car and get a safe distance away from him - my daughter was still in the car and by then was quite scared! I could see him walking slowly in the middle of the road and he seemed to just be acknowledging his vehicule as it smashed first into the huge concrete fower beds on the corner othe junction, then in the opposite direction straight into the Credit Agricole signpost outside the bank.
He reminded me of the lion tamers at the circus as they stroll calmly around the cage keeping the animals in check!
Very scary and surreal experience - I need a stiff Ricard now after all the excitement
Hello Twinkle
I hope you and your daughter are both ok and that you sustained no damage?
A very strange experience he must have been on somthing!!!

Hope you're both OK, Twinkle. That is a strange one!
Twinks, thank goodness you and your fille are OK. Who is this weird bloke? What is the latest news? You'll have to let us all know now what happens next..
It's just all so strange but what on earth do you do in such a situation?

Just an everyday occurrence in Twinkle's Tarn !!
Glad you are ok Twinks & have hopefully fully recovered - with Ricard in hand!!
Three points I would like to make - 1. You were very brave getting out to face the man in the car. 2. You were very wise getting back in your car & leaving. 3. Most important - I can't get the visual image of a flailing armed Twinkle, in a red poncho, out of my head!!
