First one was going to work this morning. More of a "Didnt bother looking properly" as the woman pulled to the junction and while looking at me continued to pull out. I shouted an "oi" and she mouthed "sorry". Was very close and shook me up.
Thinking Id had my quota for the day I was riding along this evening, and an oncoming car was waiting to turn to his right (my left). He had seen me, and I was in primary to prevent an overtake from the car behind at this junction. The car behind attempted an overtake and aborted and just as I passed the white dotted lines of the junction the vehicle that was waiting turned across infront of me. I literally had no where to go and ended up skidding for a few ft, hoping that the car behind that had just aborted the overtake was at a decent distance behind. I thought the mornings incident was bad but this one really was close.
Unfortunatly the second incident wasnt caught on helmet cam (forgot to push the button I think) but I have my skidding and swearing on rear cam and it shows just how close I was to the entrance of junction. Really shook me up and for a second I questioned if its worth it Quickly came to my senses though!
