On my commute home last week I was almost home, came to a major roundabout with 5 exits and was taking the 3rd. Happily going round thew round about (JRA) approaching the second exit and put my arm out to indicate I am peeling off left and a woman was approaching the round about from the 2nd exit decided not to see me and and enter the roundabout.
it was one of those slow motion moments, I could see her, but i am not sure she saw me. in my head it was "No, Noo, Nooo, Nooo, Nooooo" as I pedaled as fast as I could to clear the roundabout.
She missed my back wheel by a "bah hair". I ended up stopping by the side of the road the road in the 3rd exit shaken up and shouting furiously at her as she carried on seemingly unaware of what had just happened.
Really made me think afterwards if i could have done anything differently, but sometimes it just comes down to the fact there are some terrible drivers out there.
Anyone else had any close calls recently to get the heart pumping, adrenalin going?
