Yesterday whilst cycling home I nearly had a head on with a scooter and it was all my fault, just glad there was some room between us for me to react.
My cam is mounted on the left side of my drop bars to give you an idea of how close it was.
I am approaching a blind left when i see a car in front indicate to the left so I move through the traffic to the right to come face to face with a scooter filtering up through the traffic.
I had some choice words with myself, I dont have many incidents on the road, it does not normally bother me if someone drives to close or pulls out in front of me unless it is very close, like the idiot who was was waiting to turn right across my path and was happily sat there i assume waiting for the other traffic which was only me to pass but instead looked straight through me and just went for it and swung around right in front of me to go back the way he had come, i shouted the "Watch out mate" to be met with something in Russian. After i had composed myself i caught up with him and told him in Russian that he was a silly boy, the shock on his face that someone was speaking Russian probably matched the shock on my face when he pulled out in front of me.
Here is the vid
