It would be impossible to get anywhere if I had to assume that every driver was a blind idiot who'd never seen the highway code.
Sometimes you just have to hold on tight and hope that they are not (and slow down a bit) :)
If I really felt that I was in serious danger every day on the roads then I would not have got back on my bike. I've seen some pretty crazy things happen on London roads, and probably done some too at times. I like riding. I'll take my chances.
I'm a driver and have ridden motorcycles too. I wouldn't have pulled out of that side road without looking. He did, it's his fault.
