... onto a very busy high speed, dual carriageway, road with very few gaps. Dont assume that the person driving the car will check his mirrors before he moves, let alone realise that if he does move he's going to flatten your muppet arse because you've sneaked up the left and placed yourself in the worst possible position. Some folk one bikes have no road sense whatsoever.

Had some muppet do this to me today.

Cynic-al - In my experience it's a cold day in hell when either cyclists or drivers are correct about anything.

If you're an Odinist, it's always a cold day in hell.

It's amazing how many people don't know the "if you can't see my mirrors I can't see you!" rule.

Thats not a rule nor is it an excuse.

Undertaking traffic before junction is not really a good idea, equally they put mirrors on both sides of cars for a reason,

Every vehicle has its blind spots, a good driver manages them.
