Following on from my posting about the Peugeot 307 'brushing past me' on the pavement at 30 mph on 19 March, my wife and I have recently been the victims of yet another example of the increasingly popular 'sport' of 'pavement surfing' carried out by drivers who are impatient and wish to avoid slowing down or stopping under momentary traffic congestion conditions. We were lucky to escape serious injury whilst walking back in the dark from our local supermarket at 10 pm on Monday 2 June. In response to a vehicle coming towards us, moving into the centre of the road to turn into Asquith Gardens on the Rayleigh Road in Thundersley, the driver of a silver Nissan Micra Reg No EF05 E?N, mounted the pavement, as we were walking back with bags of shopping from our local supermarket. He proceeded to drive around the nearside of the turning vehicle and drove towards us at 30 mph + with his two nearside wheels on the pavement . With only the street lamps for illumination and with at least one defective lights both to the front and to the rear of his car, the 'pavement surfer' narrowly avoided 'mowing us both down' on the narrow pavement as he swerved back into the road as soon as he had passed the turning vehicle. I cannot be certain of the reg plate details as his rear number plate lights were both 'out'. On this occasion I did not have my trusty camera with me so I was unable to pursue the rogue driver on foot and attempt to get a photo to support my report to the local police. However if their response is anything like the disinterest shown when I reported my previous daylight hours 'pavement surfing - near miss' - then I shall be very unhappy.
