On the way home tonight with my lights on with an amber filter fitted to stand out, Dayglow vest obscured by faring and rucksac, travelling about 20-25 mph (just turn from one main junction), coming up to a junction for some premises, one car turned right, across my path going the opposite direction - this one wasn't the problem as he booted it, another car decided to turn at the same time as the first car but going in my direction moving about 5mph, had to take avoiding action, drove around her, blowing my p**S poor TDM horn to inform her I was there, I stopped at the next junction about 50ft from the junction of her works, give gestures of am I invisible. can you see me.
She pulls along side me and mutters those immortal words: -
'sorry I didn't see you' not quite a red rag to a bull so I told her you could have killed me, Try and explain that to my kids after that' She just filled up with tears and said 'you are correct I could have killed you' so with this a let her go with a word of warning 'look for us on two wheels in the future as the next one may not be so lucky'
Basically she though it was clear as the other car went the opposite direction
Don't think she will be doing that again
I'll think I will ride with full beam on from tonight on-wards, this might help, there again....
