What you cannot see on the video are any tell tale skid marks to suggest the back of the car was flipped round.
It still unnerves me when coming up to any junction with a car waiting to pull out. Me I do the smidsy swerve quite often, a movement to interrupt a fixation stare...its not yet failed to work !
It still unnerves me when coming up to any junction with a car waiting to pull out. Me I do the smidsy swerve quite often, a movement to interrupt a fixation stare...its not yet failed to work ! I also have been known to parp my very loud horn if I get even the slightest worry the twat is going to pull out. I have been T boned three times in my life, managed to survive all of them, though two were classed as serious injury.I also got twatted off by a idiot reversing round a blind bend as I was entering it ! I have the scars to prove it all, and the compo ! If there is any moral to such stories its the case for eternal vigilence and dont relax into " it cant happen to me mode" ...ever.After all my extensive training it still happened to me...so its NOT a training thing,I dont believe any training will per se stop such happenings... the only defense is a be scared of it happening mentality every time you go out , and thats the best advice I can give to anyone. I tend to give myself a commentary when I am riding , as if I am on test ...it really helps to keep sharp. I have thwarted many many possible accidents by extensive forward obs, restraining speed appropriately, but still nevertheless enjoying my ride. Above all never trust another driver to have either seen you or be willing to do anything to help you.It is IMO a battleground out there, especially at commuting times.
