Nearly ruined someone's day yesterday

To the guy in the purple Hollard kit yesterday at a well-known Boys High School. Sorry mate, I was reversing into a tight parking and didn't see you behind me.

 

In my defence though, it's a 3-and-1/2 ton truck with wing mirrors only, the reverse light was on, and you were a couple of inches behind me trying to squeeze past on the left of a truck that was reversing and swinging left into a parking...oh and everyone that witnessed the incident thinks you're a box for carrying on the way you did when you were very clearly in the wrong. Shot for setting such an example of how a sportsman should behave to a whole lot of primary school kids.   
As I said, sorry, but there was no way I could see you - you need to work on your own sense of self-preservation.

 

Also a cyclist, although a bit of a *** one (been registered here a while but don't often log in)

Yhea, don't tell the story like the guy is here, because even if by the small chance that he is here, the other 99.999% of us reading this are not him.

Seems simple, OP was in a 3.5Ton truck reversing into a parking. Not inadequate wing mirrors but it is a truck and in Africa might is right, or so I get told when travelling through Kenya, Tanznia, etc.....

Schoolboy cyclist tries to squeeze through in a blind spot and almost got flattened by said truck.

Schoolboy then proceeded to spit his dummy and make a scene in front an adoring crowd which included primary school kids. Can imagine he probably has a potty mouth.

 

Kapish?

One part of the OP that does not make sense.

He mentions it happened at a high school and the primary school kids had to witness it .

That's it, pretty much, except said cyclist was a spoilt teenager schoolboy type in attitude only. Well matured in all other aspects.

U12 cricket - provincial matches Southern Gauteng vs Northern Gauteng - using high school's facilities.

Got it in one, not pretty when I'm on the bike. :-)

Did the bloke identify himself as Hubagent So-and-So for you to post your apology? Or is this just a shotgun approach?

 

Shotgun approach.

Pappi warned your before about wearing your purple kit when out and about

 

 

So this might explain the event's subsequent behaviour.........scientific evidence (Google; 2014)
