Got a bit of a big one again this morning.
I was driving down the A2 and all the cars in front of me were slowing right up and eventually stopped towards the kidbrooke flyover/turn-off. I got a little closer and could see the road ahead was totally clear but there were some people standing around in a group, a few more yards on and there it was a bike on the floor with a rider in a sort of modified recovery position, helmet still on and very lifeless.
It was a straight bit of road so my guess would be either diesel under braking or a car has decided to pull out on him.
I didn't stop as I think there were enough people there already and I would've been an obstruction.
Just hope he/she is OK.
Made me think! We do this every day on our daily commutes, just takes a split second to make a mistake or for some idiot to pull out on you.
Take care as the weather gets worse out there.
