Unhappy jesus h christ.

Just had the shock of my life. Coming into town on the dual carriage way and a toddler runs across the road in front of me without looking. Mother was about 10-15 feet away from him. Luckily i breaked and swerved in time. Gave the mother a serious rollicking. I'm now at cafe nero and i cannot stop shaking. Gonna be a while before i can get on the bike.
I'm not religious but someone must have been looking after the little lad.

Ste.

I hope she took note at how lucky she was not to have him mown down.

Some people just don't have a brain, how the hell did she not notice child away from her?

Wow, I can see why that would knock you for six mate. Try to stay off the coffee...sounds like you have enough shakes to deal with. I'm glad you gave the mother a rollocking. I know you can't have your eye on your kids every single second, but to be by a main road and have a kid get that far away is just not on.

Very glad it went the way it did for you and the wee man.

Oi Cuffy, there's some right good bunny boilers up ere with plenty of curves to get a grip of. Not like the stick insects from down sarf with nowt to survive a harsh winter with.

A different take on the curvy vs pointy debate. I like it
