CS7 northbound this morning, as I was coming through junction with Great Suffolk Street (Q1).
There was an HGV going northbound too - but he had stopped, completely obscuring my view of the junction - and my spidey senses were tingling with the possibility that he could be turning left across the (clear) CS7 without his indicator on. No way I'm risking that - so I stopped.
This prompted a surprised 'What are you doing?!' from the rider behind me, who swerved round me and almost came into conflict with the car that it turned out the HGV was giving way to...
Pulled up next to my fellow rider at the next set of lights and decided to opt for a smile and an 'I am happy to explain what I was doing if you like...', but she reached for her headphone wire and upped the volume a few clicks.
Fair enough...
