I apologise that the microphone was on and radio 2 playing.
But see http://www.twsoft.co.uk/sv/close.MP4 Should I have reacted any different???? should I have anticipated better?

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
well I'm going to be picky because I don't think you were doing a lot wrong and tbh I'm not even sure if she was trying to move across or just wavering in her lane but you did have the car sat slightly in her rear quarter for a fair amount of time. I always try to get either just ahead of a vehicle or enough behind that they can pull in front purely for reasons like this, I want them to be able to see me WITHOUT a shoulder check or preferably mirror.

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
Not my kind of music I must admit. I would have done the same with same reaction time. It wasnt that she was turning into your lane, but if you watch her hands she didnt follow the corner as it tightened so until it tightened up you couldnt have known what was going to happen. Haha watching it was like doing hazard perception again waiting for the obstacle

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
To be fair to her, as I scowled in her direction. she raised her hand and acknowledged her whoops moment.

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
The music was rather appropriate for the other driver, waiting for an alibi
Appropriate response

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
You were in her blind spot for her rear view mirror. If she had looked in her wing mirrors she would have seen you, but then, how many cage drivers use their wing mirrors. I didn't until I learned to ride.
