I simply expect every car at every junction to pull out. Ditto while driving. Then there's no surprise and you are ready.
Personal criticism like this is totally unnecessary.One day you will cringe that you posted this onto a pair of websites and looked to glean attention from doing so. Or at least I hope you will.
Mistake made, no harm done. This is a microscosm of you Matthew. You use that camera, and the comments your videos get, as a blanket. Let it all go. You'll become a better person.
If that happened to me I'd probably joke to the driver with something friendly like "Come on dude, it took me ages to get up to that speed" He would have smiled and apologised 90%+ of the time.
In case you need another reminder.
STOP SWEARING AT PEOPLE
In that video, you're the dumb sh1t. The driver made an accidental error, be that in not seeing, you, misjudging your speed, whatever. You chose to swear at him. You are actually advertising your own immaturity, irresponsibility, lack of social intelligence and it's just dumb.
I really don't know why I've posted sensibility at you on a few occasions as you're clearly numb to it, it's a weird concept to think I've just spent 3 minutes writing something you'll ignore. Ho hum.
Reminds of a heated conversation i had at work today ...They look but don't see and/or think bicycle = slow, I shall pull out.
.
I was driving home last friday and was in a 30 limit at Oxspring. Flying in from the 60 came a Ford Ka, not even bothering to slow down. She seemed oblivious to the world chatting away on her mobile.
Shame she was a driving instructor according to the whacking great plastic sign on the roof.
That should qualify for an instant lifetime ban, as should all mobile use. But of course no-one enforces driving laws in this country.
If the 'out' isn't there of course I'm prepared to stop.
Drivers simply think 'Any cars coming... nope... and don't register that a bike can be as fast as it is.
This going to controversial but I reckon that in traffic in Cambridge 60-65% of female drivers are using their mobile phones while driving either glued to their ears or texting thinking they cannot be seen doing it as they drive, where as with male drivers it is about 30-35%. Why do women have to talk so much?
