TFW you announce “and now I'm driving on a straight and wide road” and 10 seconds later you turn an almost-blind curve and see two big buses overtaking a bike and end up brushing the bushes at the edge of the road with the left rear view mirror to avoid hitting the second bus with the right mirror.
(No significant damage was done to the mirror nor to the bush, it was just a light touch, like a cat using her whiskers to check that she could pass in a narrow opening :D )

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •TFW annunci “e adesso sto guidando su una strada larga e dritta” e 10 secondi dopo esci da una curva quasi cieca e vedi due pulman che stanno sorpassando una bicicletta e finisci a sfiorare la siepe a bordo strada con lo specchietto di sinistra per evitare di toccare il secondo pulman con lo specchietto di estra.
(Nessuno si è fatto male, né lo specchietto né il cespuglio, è stata una cosa tipo gatto che usa le vibrisse per controllare se ci passa da un pertugio :D )

Unknown parent • •@David de Groot it wasn't that bad: when I got out of the curve there was plenty of space for the first bus to finish overtaking, and thus plenty of space for me to react to the second bus who did the same when there *wasn't* plenty of space (because of course it would do that, they were probably traveling together, and my expectations were safely low :D ).
It was just proof that, while definitely *wider* and *straighter* than the road I had been driving just before, well, calling it *wide* and *straight* was still a bit of a stretch :D
