glad it was the car... I had a bit of a scare last night when a car from opposite direction decided to turn right across my path at a set of traffic lights. I made full use of the ABS as I swerved round the car, clipping the curb and spinning round in the road before coming to a standstill facing across the junction the wrong way with a stalled car. The bloke in the other car just carried on and the bloke in front of me had eyes like saucers at what he had just seen. I was pretty shaken up and it took some time to stop my hands shaking afterwards, but i think what really got to me was how lucky i was in general and also that i was in the car not on the bike. There is no way I could have pulled off the swerve and would likely have hit the curb/ditch or the blokes car. Sometimes it pays to have four wheels! |
