FUCK! SMIDSY by a lorry this morning!

Hands up everyone who has never made a mistake on the roads.
No hands, that's what I thought, you shower of hypocrites.

Gn2, what a really pointless post to put it politely.

I get your point, but there's a different set of standards for someone driving a high gross weight vehicle versus a rider on two wheels. When scooter riders make a mistake, they are most likely to hurt themselves. When a lorry driver makes a mistake, the effect can be devastating to others.

At the risk of repeating my self...

WHERE CAN I GET LIGHTS LIKE THESE...

Yep, fully aware of that, I have held a PSV/PCV licence for nearly thirty years.
This was simple human error, no-one was hurt and that's all that counts.

The thing is, did he or she stop?

[Zed]

He could go anywhere, there were pedestrians still on the crossing.

Yep, but not stopping/looking with adequate room for a crossing is pretty poor.

It was no harm done, part on my part, part he was going slow, but it was more than a bit surprising is all.

Sorry to hear that, Zed, and glad to hear of no damage to you or the scooter on the whole.
