Close Call today coming back from the inlaws I saw the car on the left he saw me an stopped then the bastard on the right pulled out It's a fair hill in Exeter had the bike up on it's front wheel had to let off or i was going to lose the bike down the road. Think i kept my cool very well had He been younger i would have put a boot in the drivers door not that i would condone that sort of thing or have partaken in it in the past wink and that mx5 had that dent in the door before so this is why i ride with a cam running all the time.

Good job pug, you made your point and gave him a telling off but kept your cool and didn't abuse the old boy,you can see from the video he was embarrassed and sorry about his mistake and he took your comments on the chin. After all we all make mistakes.
Well done mate!

Very nicely done Pug! Probably a lot more effective than effing and blinding at the guy who clearly realised his mistake.

The way i try and ride on the roads is that ( every other vehical is guna pull out in front of me ) its amazing how many start to pull out and see me at the last second and stop. I ride with a high vis jacket and a super bright daylight LED headlight but they still dont see me. There is signage here in Australia that the goverment advertises , LOOK TWICE LOOK BIKE. 4 road bikers were killed in QLD Australia in the last month.
