Well that escalated quickly. I left work at 5 to light rain. By the time i'd got to Bromley it was an inch of snow / slush and drivers were being arseholes.
I made it to two roads from home when a driver pulled straight out in front of me (would have struggled to stop in the dry at 30). I was doing less than 5 but had nowhere to go and went down (avoiding his car).
He then decided to offer to fight me for daring to claim it was his fault before driving off before the bike was off the floor. FP09 HEV incase i forget before the police report.
Foot brake is crushed (on) so I could only move it about 5ft and part it at the side of the road.
Only one person stopped to ask if i was okay.
