Hi and hope you're all well.
Coming home today from work i really thought my days were numbered by an absolute lunatic driving a performance Audi car. Thing is i wasn't on my bike but i was in my car. The road in question was a single carriage A road and i was bumbling along at around 55mph when out of nowhere this moron close passed me in what i could only discribe as travelling at well over 120 mph. It happened that quickly i didn't even get chance to react to it by pulling over to the left to give a little more room between us. His mirror clipped mine and narrowly missed a head on collision with a car coming the opposite direction . About quarter of a mile down the road were a set of lights, and low and behold their was the car staggered across the white stop line.(looking at the way the car was positioned it was obvious he had struggled to stop in time)
As i pulled up on the left hand side i lowered my window and gave the driver a piece of my mind, but i was met with the usual abuse you get nowadays. I've got the footage on dashcam and playing it back it was truly shocking to watch. If i had of deveated to the right by a few inches im sure a serious collision would of resulted with loss of life.
I really do hate driving nowadays. Really fast performance car's shouldn't be allowed on our congested roads. As in the case of this driver, he was a young guy, and was clear he was out to impress his mate's by its lighting performance..
I'm going to send off the camera footage to the police and report it.
It happened a few hours back and im still shakened up.
In all my years of driving and thousands of miles covered ive never seen or felt so scared before.
The nation speed limits were 60 along this road and i welcome new technology that would restrict drivers from abusing it in such a reckless manner.
My rant is over now and just wanted to get it off my chest.
All the best
Johnny
