I had a pool car to visit one of our sites. Very nice brand new focus titatium spec with TDCi with dual clutch powershit gearbox, sat nav, video reverse camera (which works really well btw).
Was looking at pulling out into a main roundabout, saw a gap and went for it. Only problem, I instinctively went to change up a gear the car slammed to a stop in the middle of the roundabout with an artic lorry heading towards me !
Took me a few seconds to remember that I was driving an auto and I just just slammed on the brakes with my left foot. Luckily the truck managed to swerve around but I was sat there looking pretty stupid. Better that then dead, phew!
