Just remembered a horrible moment from the other week. I can never remember the stories even by the end of the ride.
Going down a hill on the way to polo I can see a few cars waiting to pull out from a junction on the left. Now this hill is one where I've clocked 60km/h previously and have also set off the speed camera so I'm not exactly hanging about. I see the cars pull out, nae problemo. Then a Hummer limo comes along and pull across both lanes of the road. Que screaming realising I'm not going to make the turn properly to instead decide to shoulder charge it. I somehow stayed on the bike but was forced onto the wrong side of the road just as cars were leaving a set of traffic lights. Pretty lucky with those traffic lights.
Didn't go back as I was so angry thinking what might have happened had it not been someone as experienced as me.
