The Near Accident

I was on the way to pick my parents up from Church when I nearly met with a potentially bad accident.

I was cruising downhill and wanted to make a left turn into a small one way street. There were cars parrallel parked along that street and this champagne coloured Nissan Sunny was reversing out of a lot. As I approach the turn he stops reversing and I presume that he saw that my turn signal was on. Then as I make the turn he suddenly accelerates right into my path! I jam on the brakes and narrowly miss smashing into him by about 1m or so.

Unfortunately before I could lean on the horn to give him a round of "applause," he gives me the "whoops, sorry!" hand wave and speeds off. Had I decided to make the turn any faster he could probably have to think of buying a new car...
