Default Re: Scary bike moments

I had a woman race onto College Roundabout in Kingston in front of me last week- I was heading right from the Kingston side to go toward the river- safe and sensible speed, indicating, noisy exhaust. She was on the corner next to the college.

The car in front of her went- had plenty of time to shoot out quickly and I was expecting it. Then this woman just raced out from at least a car length back- gave a good 4 or 5 toots of the horn and she just looked at me- not even an apologetic wave.

I just had enough time to get round the back of her- it's ignorant c**ts like that that really get me riled.

And you can guarantee on most light controlled roundabouts first thing in the morning that LOADS of people jump the lights- and not 'just on the red' either. Very blatanly late on the red light appearing. I'm surprised there aren't more accidents on Tolworth roundabout first thing.

Grrrrr!

Though I am finding now that if I ride a bit more laid back, I have less scary moments. It's all about when not to go for it and hoon around!!
