This is getting a tad wearisome- another close encounter and dramatic evasive maneouvre this morning. A car sitting at a side road to a housing estate pulled out just as I reached him. Again I shouted - I don't know why I do that - more of a roar than any words. He braked sharply and waved apologetically. I then realised his windows were still largely iced and he was looking out of a small hole in the middle.

To be fair though just cos they can see you does not mean they wont pull out on you!

Even when they lean out the window and say "Sorry I didnt see you!" - that one happened last week, pizza driver who wouldn't stop apoligising so I said "Don't be sorry, be careful, look out for bikes when you want to turn"
Your right though about people that pull out anyway, but less often thankfully!

Good point, I hadn't thought of that Dan. I have a couple of damaged helmets in my shed from previous accidents I've had, which are probably good enough for peds. I'll do a hand-out on Monday.
