so you blocked the road, forced him to brake and swerve round you and you wonder why he objected.
I fear my explanation would be wasted on you.

Could you try to avoid using this phrase please ? It makes you sound like you live in a council house.

If you want to look at it another way, that’d be a 100% stone cold major fault on a driving test, do not pass go, do not collect driving licence.

Northwind ::: ‘do not pass go’ ‘do not collect 200 pounds’ ‘go straight to jail’ then hahahah

Nah, he’d only have got the jail if he’d obstructed traffic shortly after a riot 😉

Wasn’t there so I can’t comment on the incident itself. What I do know is that I have far more people deciding to pull a 3 point turn in front of me & forcing me to stop when I’m on a bike than I do when I am in a car.

And that makes you sound like a complete and utter knob.

Chris – at the risk of adding a sensible comment to this forum, it sounds like this guy was moving a bit quick, and he wasn’t there when you started to pull out. fair enough, I’m with you so far. Once you realised he was coming though best just to pull back in and get out of the way. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, if you can lessen the chances of an accident then it’s up to you to do that

Chris,
whether it was your fault or the cyclists fault, you’ll get flamed on here regardless, but the best piece of advice I can give you is to examine what you did, and ask whether you could have prevented it, for instance by choosing a different place to do a 3 point turn, or even not doing a 3 point turn in the road – was there a gateway or anything you could have used to turn round without blocking the road?

It’s often not about who’s at fault, but about what you can do to avoid an incident. Unfortunately this comes with experience, which you’ll get over the coming years (sorry if this sounds patronising, but I am teaching my youngest to drive at the moment, and it’s surprising how different his attitude is to mine, even though I have a bit more experience than him….)

yeh but nosedive, when i saw him coming i stopped and he was still miles up the hill until he got closer to me and sounded his brakes to show annoyance, i left room so he could go around me and shout nob ed! lol so therefor what an ars xD

Clearly the rider did not possess adequate levels of radness. I’d have simply 360 bunnyhopped the car.

id love to see that lol
