Reflecting on a near miss

that front wheel malarky makes sense to me time to change tactics thanks gents

[Grahamm]

It's nice to see all the sound advice- I follow the watch the front wheels one.

Me too, although one time I damn near emergency stopped on a roundabout because I saw that the wheels on the vehicle at the next entrance to the roundabout were rotating. I subsequently realised that it was some sad chav with those stupid spinning hubcaps that keep rotating even when the vehicle is stationary

Fortunately they appear to have gone out of fashion!

Yet with all this talk of adjusting speed, planning escape routes and the rest not one person has mentioned the horn-
Doesn't matter if it's a junction or roundabout, You see wheels turning the very first thing you do is push that motherfuckin horn!

It takes more time to get your thumb to the horn button than it does to hit the brakes (presuming your fingers are already on them which mine tend to be in such a situation).

Having said that, I do sometimes pre-emptively move my thumb onto the horn button in a situation where someone could pull out (whilst readying my right hand on the front brake).

I just want to point out that I was the first to say the wheel moving thing 
 

I am looking and saying to myself (well actually out loud ) "see me" -- "see me" and then you see the wheels stop turning.

What I get from forums like this is........a sense of relief that I'm not the only one who never grew up

I  will have you know I am a mature and responsible adult and I resent your attitude and what you are implying with your subtle innuendos.
