I drove in my wee car down the A32 on the way to Guildford yesterday (boot full of biking kit and extras for my mate). Trundling along, singing away - came round a corner - not one but two bikes in my lane, coming straight at me. No. 1 biker managed to dive into his lane between two cars...No. 2 biker had nowhere to go. Luckily for him, my quick reaction save a collision...I wasnt going fast, I have a tiny car and was able to use some of the verge....

Too close for comfort...I wouldnt mind betting he peeed his pants!

Something obvious? Shocked

Clanger: good on you for pulling over like that. Biker's just lucky that you had enough time to react..

But I assume there wasn't a blind bend and/or oncoming traffic...!

It's OK to use both sides of the road though - after all, we pay for both sides of it Very Happy
