Ever tried coming to terms with the fact you are wrong ?
Yes i've heard of saccadic masking ,which can be used as an excuse if you look only once (glance)

Plenty of time to see traffic from the right , if you think I'm in the wrong maybe its time you hung up your keys as you are stating that you would have done the same thing

She had loads of time to have a proper look and see him. She didn't bother stopping for a proper look because she's a selfish twat. I see that loads and expect it on those shitty mini roundabouts.

I hope one day she does that and gets wiped out by an hgv.

And Merry Christmas! :lol:

One of the disadvantages of riding a little Noddy bike is that other road users will disrespect you, and pull out in front of you

Royal Jordanian, one of the YouTube Grom riders that influenced you to buy a Grom, has a video where a bus pulls out as he is passing it

When he stops at traffic lights, he then complains to the rider of a bigger bike that whilst riding his Grom, drivers pull out in front of him - which they don't do when riding his other full size bikes

having had a few monkeybikes and an msx, i find i have had more near misses with Audi drivers than anyone, especially at the traffic light gran prix where they take umbridge to being beat from the lights so feel the need to snarl and make gestures and try to overtake very close to me, bellends, other than that it was fine apart from getting upto speed in a headwind, interesting time coming onto the A1 at 70 mph and being caught in a lorries wash keeping me at 50mph solid while trying to overtake it, cars up my arse, cars reet up each others arse behind the truck so could not get back into the lane for some time, that was hairy no matter how streamlined i made myself, if it could stay at 70 i would have kept it but slows right down to under 50 in the slightest headwind, plus at 17st and 6ft i could not really get into a small tuck, still like riding little bikes though!
