Not pointing it out to be an ****, obviously the car should have anticipated what you were about to do and is a tw4t but make sure you are instinctively doing lifesavers so you're not splatted in the future.

All taken in the right way. My last check was a queue of cars behind me in a 50mph limit and they were quite some way off as the Nissan I had passed earlier was very slow. The Jag wasn't part of the line up that I could see.

But yes, any deviation in positioning I'll shoulder check. And especially when taking off from standstill (I was taught to do both sides in that scenario). Appreciate you are rolling not at standstill though.

I thought it easier if you could see. He was easily going 60+ and was on me before I realised what was happening. Its on the A140 which is a notoriously crappy road.

I had a similar episode many years ago in the car. I stopped in front of some parked cars in a narrow road to allow an oncoming car through. I was just about to pull out to go around the cars when I was overtaken. Clearly the car overtaking me thought I was just another parked car even though I was sitting nearer the crown of the road.

My lovely HP i7 laptop failed its bounce test. As I rarely watch TV this was a dire result. Repair time, whether I do it or use the local shop is at least 2 weeks, more so getting stuff through customs. I could have decided to buy a new one, whilst mine was in repair, and sell the old one once repaired but Spanish keyboards are different.
Solution = replace my ageing ipad with a new, bigger iPad Pro. The old HP is in for repair but oh what fun ´mirroring´the ipads—— double bonus, HID now has an ipad. But I’m already missing the HP
