What we need is called common sense! Allas it will not happen anytime soon. I strongly believe that this problem starts at conception where the same idiots overtake and cut up everyone else to fertilise the egg before the sensible ones get a look in!!!

A few years ago I was out for a midweek ride when around a blind bend, ahead of me, came a local cycle club on a midweek ride. They took up the whole road almost (I know almost is what it says) rode me off the road. If I'd been a car there might have been a more unfortunate result. We all have to be wary of what may be around the corner.

I almost drove into a horse drawn caravan, on my side of the road, whilst on a motoring tour of Ireland. So now I tend to think about what I may meet at blind bends.

I hang back behind cyclists and horses till I can see ahead is safe. Drive round bends hugging the apex, at speed. What do you do if there's a walker, cyclist or horse, or even broken down car beyond the bend.
