Doing the right thing sometimes backfires ...

His reasoning was that he used to be a tour bus driver on the island, so he knew when the barges left from Moons Point I guess - at that time of the arvo he knew that there were no more barges for the day so he assumed there shouldn't be anyone heading to that side of the island.

As Frenchie said, a dangerous assumption ...

Maybe that's why he used to be a tour bus driver!

Cheers, Mick.

No backfiring ... it's not you who have mud or gunpowder on their face. It's the other driver for hooning to catch up. Don't lose any sleep over it. Bent vehicles can be fixed... thankfully nobody was injured.

Its not really a problem. They are not blaming you and you did the right thing going back to help and should do so every time. Especially if you have been socialising with them.
They should have been driving to conditions.
