Following on from the hit by a car post…
There was clearly something up yesterday, had a guy pull out on me at a Nursery (the MOST dangerous place around here) and the look on his face as I endo’d right up to his window showed he just hadn’t seen me. Broad daylight wearing hi-viz top. Got a few intakes of breath from the pedestrians.
Then later on, two people on successive roundabouts just didn’t look, it’s a trading estate and cars rarely come from the direction I was coming and they just sailed into my path, both locking up at the last second and then angry that I was casuing them 3-4 seconds delay.
Last incident, a woman saw me, wanted to ‘beat the bike’, accelerated and ran a bloke over crossing the road, when she got to the traffic lights, all of 20m away. 🙄 I stopped her to ask why she didn’t look, she had a kid in the passenger seat who looked terrified. I genuinely wanted to know but she just kept saying, “I didn’t hit you.”
I kept calm and explained it’s a busy time in a crowded town, we all need to look out for each other but there was NO consideration that she could be at fault.
Funny old day yesterday, AND I fell off in the woods, but that wasn’t my fault, wrong tires…..
