I haven't really had much bad luck with any so far but this morning I was merrily cycling along by a school - I was making good progress - about 19mph when all of the sudden directly outside the school gate, right in the middle of the road without pulling in, indicating or anything the 4X4 in front of my stops dead and just as I am thinking about overtaking it - inside or outside - all three passenger doors swing open and four girls jump out in the road without a by your leave on mummy's instructions!
For god's sake - I don't understand why it is okay to just do that - if she had at least indicated her intentions it might have helped but she literally just stopped dead!
I wouldn't mind but about 25 feet (literally) up the road there was plenty of places to pull in that weren't in the middle of the road or right next to the yellow zig zag lines!
I know it's not even an "incident" as such but god it pi55ed me off big time!
I need to root around in my desk for a nice chill pill!!!!
