I could tell that was gonna happen at 9 seconds in, personally would have slowed a bit ready to completely stop before reaching the junction. Drivers like that are all too common where I am (and arguably everywhere!) and I find myself slowing at almost every junction.

Bit that shit you up a bit eh? Glad you're okay, shock aside.

He didn't see you because he wasn't looking at you, he was too busy acknowledging the Golf had stopped....

5 seconds in. You could see the potential hazard a mile off.
Easy to say I know.

We all need to make sure we're looking as far as possible ahead to recognize hazards and adjust road position and speed appropriately.

Glad you're okay mate!

And its much easier to spot when you know that something is going to happen (and have been given a clue what) in a 30 second video clip, rather than in the middle of a ride when nothing untoward may happen.

One of those things though. Crap drivers are out there, and this is a good reminder that we need to keep the obs up and well done to the OP for navigating a path between them.

The car infront turned left, hiding the other drivers view of an approaching motorcyclist. I could see the car hidden, and I would have slowed and expected the car to pull out.

It happens on a weekly basis.
