Yeah I thought someone might bring that up... I did reach for the brake when the first car cut across but didn't squeeze because I knew I would miss the back of it and when the second car went as well it was too late. I think I would have flipped over the bars or lost the front wheel if I braked so I instinctively swerved instead. But as I said I should have adjusted my speed approaching the junction... I was going too fast...guilty!
