Near miss part 2
A while back a thread was posted about all your near misses.
I live about five miles away from Matlock Bath so in the summer we get a fair few bikes around here. Most of my near misses in the car and on the bike are avoiding other bikers. I often have to move over so they can complete poorly judges overtakes.
Today i took my bike out for a bimble around. Traveling towards alfreton there is a right hander which if you are coming the other way is just after the 60mph limit signs. Some guy two up on what looked like a grey 750S ran way too wide and was so close to hitting the car coming towards him.
I could already see bodies and bits of plastic flying towards me. Luckily the car driver was awake and moved over just enough to avoid a very serious accident.
If this was you, please think about how you are riding and get some extra training or try a trackday to learn how to corner. I have seen one accident happen right infront of me (luckily with no one hurt), i certainly dont want to see a fatal accident.
