Came incredibly close to being taken out by an absolute twunt towing a trailer down Manchester Road in Island Gardens this lunchtime. It was one of those big box trailers which are much wider than the car, so the first time he (or she) overtook I thought they're a bit close, then got a massive trailer about an inch from my bars.
Got past (and didn't really notice anything memorable about the car) then they overtook me again, this time leaving so little room I had to slow suddenly and steer off pretty much into the curb. Either it was deliberate or they have absolutely no idea of how to drive with a trailer, but either way they're a menace.
Trouble is I can only remember that the car was a dark coloured estate and the registration number started with 'AD03' - I can't remember the second half, even though I spent 5 minutes after the second pass trying to chase them down to have a word repeating the registration number to myself. So not much to go on at all. Worth reporting? I wouldn't bother at all but I think suspect they might actually knock someone off if they carry on like that.
