The other night I was on my way to meet a mate for a meal and sherbets. Filthy weather pissing down with rain, walked to pedestrian crossing as I step up lights turn red for traffic.
Myself, 2 other peds, and a cyclist head across.
The light had been solid red for at least 2 seconds.
I spotted a car in the far carriageway doing just over 30 and with clearly no intention of stopping.
The cyclist had his hood up and was moving quicker than the rest of us and the other peds had clocked the car.
I calculated he was about to meet his maker and had not seen the car.
Look out....... nothing
LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!
Cyclist stopped, car sailed through not missing a beat.
He would have been dead or seriously injured.
Cyclist thanked me and seemed slightly stoned.
