I guess I could have got out of it earlier, but on bright sunny day, on a bright red bike with a short stubby can I didn't really expect him not to see (or hear) me.

I did have enough time (we were only doing 35'ish) to hit the brakes and get out of it if I really needed too. The reason that my leg was brushing the car was because I was holding some space to my left, just in case.... But it's a big kerb along that bit of road, hitting it would have damaged the wheel and had me off of the bike.

And no, he wasn't old. But he was in a battered old Nissan and from Hounslow...
