On roads you go on again and again you should already know what the risks are and slow down and try not become complaisant if nothing has happened before.
I was going into work today coming up to a junction with two side roads that cars are not allowed to turn into as they would block up travel, well indicated on the lights. I'm always aware that people might turn but as it has not happened in a long time i underestimated the stupidity of people and as i was coming up beside a car i noticed the indicator turn on and started to move, instantly i had to gun it as braking in my opinion would have more likely resulted in a collision with the car or the people behind me.
Now becoming complaisant can be just as bad as lack of observation.
p.s. I am not commenting on anyones riding as mine is apparently awful, this is just an observation.
