Coming out of a T-junction onto a larger road, I see a woman in a car opposite clearly about to pull out in the direction I'm going. She totally fails to check her blind spot and pulls out to receive a blast on my horn.
She winds down her window and utters the immortal words "Sorry, I didn't see you". I look down at my headlamp and Hi-Viz and remark "That's because you didn't *LOOK*!"
Ok, I wasn't in any danger because I had been watching her, but hopefully she'll remember that so the next biker who isn't watching so carefully when she's pulling out doesn't get knocked off.
