Whoever it was, well done on good road position for the bend, helped out with avoiding any problem. However, why the horn? Where else did you think the truck would be able to go on such a narrow road?

Proves that there is some nuggets on the road.

The guy in the smart (not so) was almost taken out by the car in front. But also proves there some good drivers on the road.

They guy who nearly got took out by the TVR needs to learn how to filter. Undertaking a sports car with limited rear visibility who is indicating left (and has been for some time) is asking for trouble.

Yeah you kind of give up the right to whinge about "sorry mate I didn't see you" when you put yourself in a position where it is impossible to be seen.
