Back on topic. I had one this morning. Was ascending Lippitts Hill towards High Beech in Epping. There's a little break half way where you descend briefly and then take a sharp left joining Church Rd. I was trying to hold some momentum and completely mis judged the angle of the bend. I took it like a total dick and drifted hard to the outside of the turn, only to be confronted by a car coming the other way. All I could do was point at the verge to make it clear to the driver that I would only be heading to his left and commit to a crash. Luckily for me, they slammed the anchors on and evaded me.
What a total prick I am. Nearly died in Essex and it would have been nobodies fault but my own.
