My routes around here are fairly busy roads but the traffic never normally actually stops. Yersterday there was horse racing on so there were queues. I used to ride a motorcycle so I was used to filtering down the outside, so I did the same, until I came across an impatient driver.
They decided to pull out right out of the queue into a garage forecourt as I was passing, to be fair I saw the indicator, but the manouver took place at the same time. I was only doing about 8mph so I did a mighty swerve aroung the front, and felt the car clip me somewhere behind.
Stopped, jumped off, no damage, heart racing and went and spoke to the driver. He claimed he looked but SMIDSY. I told him about his instantaneous use of mirror-indicate-manouver and he was very apologetic.
No harm done ATEOTD, but you need eyes on stalks don't you?
