5 times this morning on my ride into work I had to hammer on the brakes and make an emergency stop. 5 times..! What the hell is wrong with some people. I know for a fact I aint invisible - bright yellow Homer jersey, garish yellow gloves and ankle bands, plus I had me exposure lights on.
Yet as I navigated around Woolston RAB to get onto the bridge, my arm outstretched so people can see where I'm going I become acutly aware that the car travelling to my left isnt going to stop at the line. I had to hammer on the brakes and shout "ARE YOU LOOKING!" as they shot in front of me leaving half a foot of space.
As I begin pedalling up to the next junction a Tipper truck (who are usually fine around here tbh) who'd been waiting a the line shot forward making me think "OH CHRIST! THIS IS IT!" I swerved and thankfully he saw me in time.
Those were the worst two. Bit of warm weather and peoples' IQs drop about 50%. Muppets.
