Oh shit moment today was going wound this weird roundabout ish thing on the bottom of the Avenue in southampton, I was sat nicely towards the middle of the outside lane, nice and visible. Everyone else saw me except a taxi flying towards the roundabout, I'm not sure if he didn't see me or was just going to fast and not able to stop. He start flying straight out as I was in front of him, I managed to swerve into the inside lane and then back into outside lane to avoid being t-boned, he was braking but even so it was far too close. I don't actually know how I wasn't hit, it was so close. Taxi driver sheepishly drove along side me in the other lane as I made my way to the bus lane, I made it clear he was a dick head but given the bollocking he was receiving from his passengers I think he had realised he nearly fucked up.
