As for the 1st video, that was a nothing incident. Don't stress about these otherwise you'll stop riding altogether

For the second, it's too easy to condemn in hindsight. Maybe you should have been a little more cautious so close to the roundabout(as in definately!) but FFS you hardly reacted at all. A blip of the throttle to stop others pulling out maybe. Don't beat yourself up.

Default Re: Near Head On Collision

I'm not beating myself up over it. What I mean is that I like to watch back things like this to see if I could have anticipated it earlier or reacted differently.

I'm a lot more cautious now filtering down that road and when I get near the end I do blip the throttle a little to hopefully let people know I'm there but I'm still very cautious filtering near roundabouts regardless.

I did overreact but what's done is done and I've learnt something from watching this back.
