Fourth time this year I have been unfortunate enough to meet a driver with poor road skills in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You could say I have been unlucky to meet such a driver or lucky I managed to avoid entering the vehicle via the windscreen.:tongue:
Still could not spoil the ride home as I had just found out my C2W voucher is on it's way^_^

Overcooked the corner. He needs to learn how to drive sensibly.
 
Can I be the 1st one to comment negatively on this video? Obviously this is all your fault. If you'd been positioned 2cm over to the right then the sun reflecting from your camera wouldn't have been in the diligent young drivers eyes and he wouldn't have missed the apex to the corner! :rolleyes:

By the sound of it hasn't mastered the idea of the throttle being an analogue input control... he just gave it beans when coming out the corner & the car slid wide. What ever he needs to learn how to drive a car on the road.

Allow me to be the second to negatively comment; if you were in the gutter, where all cyclists should be, there would have been no problem what-so-ever as the young chap in the Saxo would not have been forced to claim 50 points in the run-down-a-road-user game...:dry::biggrin:

I did end up in the gutter to avoid him but I think my salmon KoolStops denied him his 50 points^_^

Did he give you a "look"?
Needs remedial driving lessons. We've all been young (with the exception of Dell), and some of us recall that driving quickly can be fun. What I wish is that people had more understanding of the potential consequences of their action. But that's a tall order.

I liked the difference in tone of your horns (ooh err).
For some reason your higher pitched horn reminded me of the great Magnatom.

Negative comment #3.

Get off the road - you don't pay road tax.
