Ouch - why did I do that??

[sorcerer]

Feeling really p****d off with myself tonight. After more than 40 years driving I did something so stupid and so idiotic that I really can't believe it - although I've no doubt the repair bill will emphasize just exactly what a numpty I've been.

New traffic scheme in town means an extra 20 to 30 minutes and extra miles on the homeward journey every night after picking up my wife from work, so I was in a bad mood about that and getting impatient. One particular set of lights has the inside lane for left turn and straight on, outside lane for right-turn only.

Inside lane has a queue of about 700-800yds of stationary traffic to the lights and is our way home, but tonight I needed to turn right to go to the shop for bread and stuff and the right-turn lane is completely clear to the lights. A traffic island narrows the road a bit but there is room for two cars as long as the inside one is well over - but tonight it wasn't and I hit her door handle

Thankfully no damage to her car but I'm ashamed and embarrassed to say that I've now got a dent and scratch on my passenger-side front wing! What an absolute prat

We've all been there so dont punish yourself too much, its enough to know you've damaged your pride and joy.
