A very worried driver got out and rushed over asking if I was OK. Apart from a bruised back caused by one of the car's tyres, I was unscathed. I have a sequence of photos somewhere, the last shot from ground level of the car passing above me.

I seem to remember seeing snaps of that incident - unless there were others similar.
I would love to see the sequence you shot if you can find them. I often wonder what I would do in that sort of situation.
