It all balances out. I had a lovely commute today and the last few weeks have been almost incident free. I bet Mr Hippo is really disappointed that he can't grump at me about my videos :biggrin:.

I'm sure normal service will be resumed shortly though.

You have just reminded me, though, about a driver I saw yesterday not wearing a seatbelt in one of those cars with the farty exhausts. I'll need to have a look at that video....

That's sucky, Jake, here's a virtual hot cuppa!

btw. to be pedantic, it's not right of way, but priority. I prefer priority, as it implies that care needs to be taken even by the person who has priority. I'm not suggesting you didn't take care, of course you did.

What are you doing posting on here BM? Surely you will have some sleep to catch up on (please don't tell me you have one of these sleeps for 8 hours at a time babies! I'd hate you if that was the case...:biggrin:;))

grgrrgrrggrgrgr. Thanks for the T, funyn enough i've just made one! It all took part in my normal ride from canning town to angel. yes maybe just one of those days, lucky its all clear in Scotland at the moment.

lol, im not too good on the legal HC stuff. here's what it was, it was on a chicane type thing where the road narrows and they put a bump in the middle. the big white arrow, (me) had right of way, and teh small red arrow, (tw*t), just drives right at me as i am going through it!

Not sure how many swear words used today, but glad im not getting fined lol

Jake, take a chill pill ffs! Life's too short, cycling should be your number one stress buster not something that makes the veins on your forehead resemble a street map of Venice!

Next ride, slow down, go out under the assumption that everyone you meet will be a mindless, thieving, rude, selfish, dangerous idiot and you will fair much better.

And keep smiling man!
