• Had 4 incidents in last month.

    1. Was 100% my foult, was ridig between lanes in traffic, decided to turn right after a van and changed my mind on half way cause didn't have enough veiw of in coming traffic, braked but was late and hit the car in front.
    2. Was waiting for the green light at junction, was 1 car in front, there was enough room between the car and the cerb. When it turned to green I move by the bap, was on half way to pass the car when it turned left without a signal, I hit his left door, he drove away. No damage no injury. The only thing I was thinking at the moment was rasing after and break his left mirror and the signal lights. But I didn't :-)
    3. There was a bus in a bus stop and a van behind. I was pretty fast, decided to go between them and the in coming traffic. Took right well before to let the van driver see me. Was about to rich the van when it turnd right and turned the signal lights at the same time. I braked slide left then right, the car coming from the opposite direction braked hard in case the van kicks mo in front of him. I touch the van with my sholder but could keep on bike some how. The van drove away, I riched him at next junction, looked at him, no reaction. Realised that he didn't even notice me al this time.
    4. There was a car behind a bus under red light in second lane, I was going by first lane when it changed to green and the car turned left and cut my way (no signal again). I braked and some how didn't hit him.
      So be careful people and be ready for all kind of unexpected moves from drivers.

  • Please get some cycle training.

  • Have to agree with DJ it wouldn't hurt to have a bit of training where as not doing and you may not keep being so lucky

    you posted while I was typing... maybe you have just had a bad month but all four of your incidents sound a bit sketchy and are the result of you approaching vehicles from behind
