The times I had a close one, have always been my own fault, mis-judging my speed for how tight a bend really is.
I try to ride defensively with the approach they are all out to get me.

part 1, classic problem, people not reading the road. 99% of all riding/driving problems are down to observation.

part 2, excellent approach, (cos they are!)

Have to say that doing a Bikesafe course a few weeks ago helped as my road position was such that I could avoid the ****.

Fortunately I have only had 2 moments when I went S**t and was pushed out of my comfort zone, when you knew if it went completleyt wrong it was going to hurt.
I hoped it was me over reacting to a situation that was not truely that bad, as in the end of the day, there was no panic braking or stearing involved.
I'm still here, but have not forgotten those moments!
