maybe we could start a new topic on " near misses"....we all have had them no doubt !...they do teach lessons. Sometimes I do believe I have had a guardian angel, cos when I think back on some of them, the potential was there for serious injury or death if it had happened. I'm not meaning self induced issues either like running wide on bends....but incidents like meeting a lorry just round a blind bend in the pyrenees coming towards me taking up all the road...the sort of incident which if one had just blundered into it would have been a diffrent story.
I still think my worst was coming across stationary traffic just after a blind but not really acute bend with oncoming cars in the other lane, and only just enough room to stop. That really gets the sphincter going...just thinking 5mph more and I would be" in" the car in front !....
