just down the road from me, as i was riding into work this morning it felt more poignant that my loved ones could perhaps not see me come back one day as this ones will...

The courts really need to crack down on these disqualified drivers.

The OP is very local to me. I ride the same road a lot. I didn't know the woman involved but have friends who do. Sooo sad 🙁

ah, sorry OP, I know that. .

Quite local too so that makes it more direct, doesn't it?

It's riding on the A941 that spooks me. I guess no road is 'safe'

Sad news. I used to stay on that road and rode it many times. Another needless loss of life. 🙁
