Slightly off-topic as it involves cars but could so easily have been a bike.
I'm in a queue of traffic waiting at lights. I can see a car trying to pull out of a car park on the left. There is a gap.
On the right is a lane for turning right and their light is green. Matey boy in his warm hatch comes down at normal pace 30-ish and car on the left pulls out across both lanes.
Cue lots of squealing tyres and a slew across the lane. Narrow miss. Both parties off to Sketchleys.
Whose fault if there had been an accident ?
Couldn't bare to think what would have happened if either party was a bike. :eek :o
