that could have hurt

I was riding to a job interview this morning running a bit late so I was doing about 45 in a 30 ( I know I should have slowed down ) coming up to a t junction controlled by traffic lights, lights were green and there was a lorry sat waiting to turn in front of me, he made eye contact and then to my suprise the asshole just pulled in front so I crapped myself edged over to the left hooted my horn did he stop? did he hell. so by now my heart is doing 30000 beats a minute and I'm starting to panic so I go as far left as possible into a bus stop looked in my mirror and he missed me by about a foot I wanted to stop but I went hot cold and if I'd stopped I would have fallen over because my legs went to jelly that is the closest I have been to death and bloody hell what a rush when I relised I'm still alive and on two wheels I think there was a cctv camera and I want to find out if I can get him done for dangerous drivng or somthing but I doubt it very much

If he was in front of you and was indicating you'll be the one in the wrong. But you didn't explain it very well so I dunno

i think the lorry driver was in the right hand lane waiting to go straight on/right and dandit was in the left-hand lane and the lorry driver was obviously in the wrong lane and decided to switch?!

Good job you avoided it though Just got to watch out for drivers like that.

I had a close one today which was totally my fault (i was 'bird' watching ).. anyway i was doing about 30 then the car in front yanked on the brakes for a pedestrian crossing. I couldn't brake in time but i managed to swerve to the right-hand-side of him and stopped next to the car in front just at the crossing. Obviously i pretended i was just filtering by etc etc so i didn't look so much an idiot! lol

And then the black blob mixed with the brown blob and along came an orange blob who saw the green blob and ran away.

Have I missed any blobs out?

Excuse me if I've got this wrong but is the lorry trying to cross your lane of traffic to go down the street on the left?

If so then surely the lorry is in the wrong as you should never cause anyone to have to brake or deviate their direction of travel by cutting across their path?

Just lucky that the lorry didn't clip you m8.

Some lorry drivers are at times as bad as taxi drivers who think they own the road.

BTW,45mph in a 30 zone is a touch excessive,hate to see you try to dodge a group of kids at that speed.

Was that Foys corner by any chance? Or somewhere else aroound town?

about two weeks ago i was in my mates car coming upto a set of traffic lights they changed to green with the right arrow on for us to turn right.

an idiot in a tesco artic turned left into us when the lights were on red on his side.

and then blocked the road.


i cant slag off artic/lorry drivers as my girlfriends dad/and grandad drive them without getting that look from her!!


my mate was fairly calm about it. but if he had done that to me it would have been a different story.



one of those bastards knocked me off my bmx in the 80's outside a pub near where i used to live and carried on oblivious to the fact that one of his back wheels nearly went over me.


started crying for a bit until all these big looking blokes picked me up off the floor saying your ok mate bite your lip e.t.c



watch out for them in the future mate.



for a lorry/car/bike to turn in that situation then he has a green light and a right filter green light in front of him

anything else then he is in the wrong.


correct me anyone but if there is just a green light then he has to give way to you

I don't usually go over 40mph in a 30 zone but i wouldn't have gone over 30 past that T-junction, early hours of the morning i will go faster as the streets are virtually empty. I did almost get in trouble for doing 80mph+ in a 40 zone as i was trying to set of a speed camera on a A-road in Southampton , i was stupid i know but i was trying to impress my mates on their bikes (how childish ).
