Many moons ago when I was very young, probably about 5, I was tearing around the pavements as fast as I could on my bike, looking behind me trying to spot the 'speed lines' - the lines you see behind sketches of racing cars, etc. in colouring books.
See this vid. for what I mean.

Anyways I was so intent on looking behind I totally failed to spot the elderly couple walking along in front. To cut a long story short, I ended up on the floor in tears and the guy ended up in A&E. Oops.
