Things come in Three's ;-0

Made the mistake this morning of going through the traffic calmed streets in Granton, when a car pull out of a dead end side road right into where i would of been if I hadn't. From the look on her face she wasn't that impressed that I had the temeritory to be on the road holding her up; just the usual SMIDSY (apart from there was no Sorry ;) )
Further along the road, I'm passing the Broughton High School (google is out of date it now a brand new school, plus I was on the other side of the road ;) ); (there was a wee bit of a wind behind me and I'm going downhill so I'm free wheeling down the road about 23mph in the primary) when SMIDSY number 2 pulls out right on me (not even in front of me). It could of been closer but its a school so I'm expecting this even at 9:30 and I was in a primary so I had space to move into. I though I'd give her a 'hey' just to let her know I was there (perhaps she couldn't see me for that winscreen pillar ;) ) I was surprised and amused by the effect it had; her car almost went backwards and all the way to the next junction she sat back about 30yds behind me.
Things seem to come in three's however, so despite my good mood I was expecting something else; it never came, or so I thought. I was coming down Lothian Road to Charlotte Sq, tonight (as usual I'm faster than most traffic there). Google is quite a bit out of date the 3 lanes now go straight through where the barriers are in the image. Its not well lit but I can get up good speed, its nice and sheltered. I get round the bend, in the left of 3 lanes when a ped decides that she's going to go for it, and sprints across the road, before she runs into my front wheel, I shouted 'hey' again. Again it had the same effect, but in stopping to my right, a car almosts takes her out (good job the driver was alert). Maybe a 3rd front light would have helped ;-) Thank goodness nothing did happen but if the car had hit her I would have felt partly to blame, maybe I should have let her hit me :wacko:
