|
|
Bumbling along on the commute to work when i'm asked to take quick evasive action. Luckily i'd had my morning smoke n coffee or i'd have been the meat in an Audi / lorry smackwich
I don't usually upload vidjeos and am certainly no vlogger (Cringy word) but thought this might show you just how quickly sh1t can get real.

Drivers in Swindon and down the M4 are genuinely considerate. Every day i ride, there are more cars that move over to let me filter past than cars that don't.
Edit: video defaults to 480p. Turn to 1080 for slightly less potato vision

But I would be slowing down and hanging back from the moment that indicator 1st went on. |

Good job with that swerve .
After watching it a few times I think I would have read the audi the same you did just by the signal cancelling and the fact that he does move over to the right just before cutting sharply left onto your path. ____________________ GSXR 600 K6 - Stolen

Typical Audi twat!
Nice riding to get out of that
Had one nearly take me out in the car earlier doing a last minute lane swerve without looking. |

You can always read things differently in hindsight.

Not excusing the driver but it looked like they mis read a satnav to me and got confused which exit they wanted. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Yep, nice reactions and decision.
Although slowing would have certainly given you the opportunity to ride past a few seconds later allowing you to remove a mirror. |
