Default BBC 2 programme last night

Did anyone watch How Safe are Britain's Roads on BBC 2 last night? Not like stuff we don't know but still... drivers never cease to amaze me...

I wouldn't judge anything until the facts are known re Wiggins. I have seen him several time head down peddling with no regard for what is around, A man on a mission.

Apparently a woman pulled out on him exiting a petrol station. Perhaps thought she'd make it in time but didn't consider this is only one of the fastest men on a pedal bike on the planet....

I'm much more inclined to think she "looked but didn't see" as per usual

I do a fair bit of cycling when I'm not on Hep C treatment and you'd be surprised how much awareness you have to develope just to stay alive.
