OK so, if I was a new comer to Londons roads and not so aware, and this guy pulled out in front of me and almost killed me and written off my bike. And his car in the meantime. Would I be getting the same responses?
No, I would be getting everyones sympathy. Just cos I am a good rider, does not give people license to pull out in front of me when they feel like it. They pay the price. Simple as that.
I am right in this case and nothing anyone here says will make me see it differently.
Also, the only way I could have completely stopped was by using my knees and not just the front brake. And there is no fucking way I am using my knees to stop right now having just recovered from a knee injury
