"Oh Shit" moments...

Thats fucking terrifying. I remember in a Manchester alleycat we had, there was one point where the trams come out of a tunnel, and the lights they turn on are patheticly small. I was the only person that noticed them and someones back wheel got clipped by the tram coming out from under Picadilly station. I am deathly afraid of trams.

Did you go into that tunnel or past that tunnel? I think I know the one you mean. I remember walking past that and having difficulty working out what was happening, as there are a few highly complex junctions there.

Trams are the biggest moving things on urban streets. They are a form of light rail and very much heavier than anything else bar the odd heavy duty transport (which tends to stick to motorways and roads like that). They can stop fairly quickly considering their mass, but if one runs over a cyclist, the cyclist has no chance of survival whatsoever. :(
