owe my life to a cage driver today
 
i thank the car driver who checked his mirror before turning. I was goin far too fast out of a corner n thought the traffic was just slow ahead before i noticed the car turning. I was gonna rear end the car infront who had stopped at prob 40 mph and at the last moment decided to go round him sooooo lucky the car checked or i would be v poorly right now [-o<[-o< ( i managed to lock up both wheels and sqiggle around a lot before i decided i didnt want to go thru his his rear window )

I owe my life to being careful on roundabouts and observing junctions today.

Are all BMW drivers the same? One pulled out on me on at a roundabout and another turned right across me on a major road.

Always BMW drivers - hence they're the most satisfying make of car to overtake.

Agreed :D

They also seem to hate it when I filter past them to sit just in front of them ;)

No!
Only 99%, had one that pulled over to let me pass once, he must have used a rear view mirror. It's quite possible he was also a biker.

Possible, as the guy that sold me my ZX6R just bought a BMW. So it can happen!
