[Closed] FFS, just how visible do I need to be!?

amedias · 2014-10-09T08:11:12Z

Riding down the road happily on my way to work,nobody behind me, nobody in front of me, approaching a layby on my left, suddenly the single car coming the other way pulls across in front of me to do a u-turn in the layby, no indcation, nothing, just yanked on the steering wheel and into the layby. Me hauling on the brakes pulling my best "oh sh111111t!" face as I roll alongside the (now facing the same way as me but in the layby) car , trying to make eye contact with the driver, who is looking straight forward I might add, he then pulls out of the layby right beside me narrowly missing taking me out again! Now, perhaps I should have mentioned my setup this morning.... > Commuter with Neon Orange Hi-Vis Bar tape > Exposure Maxx D on the bars, on low but still.... > Hi-Vis Yellow waterproof jacket > bright blue shorts > and oh, yes, pulling a fecking great trailer with a Hi-Vis Neon Orange dry sac on it, and comical hi-vis flag on a pole! I couldn't have been more visible if I'd tried. People pulling out of junctions I can anticipate, people turning left in front of me without indicating I can plan for, even people pulling across me into side roads give some warning, but random u-turns in front of you when you're the only two vehicles within 100 yards just caught me by surprise... grrrrr
