I didn't get the memo, but.....

.....was today national Numpty Driver Day???

Seeing as today was the first none rainy day of the week, I decided to take the long way home in the glorious sunshine. 14 miles, 45 minutes, 4 Numpties.

The old guy in the 2nd clip (0:34s) nearly ended me! This hill is the reason why I sometimes go home this way. It's a National Speed limit road, and I can hit 40+ down here. Very close, and at that speed, I have no chance of stopping. I'll point out that I had twin high power strobing lights on, and hi-viz. If you can pause the video at the right moment, it's apparent that this old geezer didn't see me at all!

I almost had my ride home spoilt this afternoon.

Have you reported the driver BSRU as that was way to close for comfort.

I was nearly killed approaching that first junction a few years ago. Solid parked cars and some idiot in a 3.5 ton truck decided he was going to pass me. He squeezed me down to handlebar width, then just when I thought I'd survived I realised he has pulling a caravan too.
Pulled up on his right at the junction, told him what I thought of him. He just mumbled 'sorry' and drove off.

Too many people are in too much of a hurry these days.

Had the opposite here, though I only did 3 miles today (bloody hailstones) I never came across anyone. Usually it's along the lines of a moron per mile

I will try but the local police have made it more difficult to report things, they need to improve their crime statistics
