Firstly just so I can get the rest of this out without it.
F*** YOUR F***ING ASS YOU F***NG F***!
Heading home tonight I was waiting to turn right at the Sockburn roundabout. A FASTWAYS COURIER VAN coming to the entrance to the roundabout to my right (i.e. would have right of way if coming straight through) had its left indicator on and there was no traffic in the right lane.
Sweet I thought, I saw the gap and went to take it. Turns out, the Van's left indicator was on because he wanted to go straight through the roundabout.
Hence my term SMMIAJFDAIGKHTUTBILTFGLOMD. Sorry Mate My Indicators Are Just For Decoration And I Don't Know How To Use Them But I Like The Flashing Green Light On My Dash.
I managed to avoid the accident but I have never had such a close call. I know that I'm the dick for assuming someone's indicators are an indication of what they may be doing. And if it had gone wrong, it wouldn't have made a difference whether I acted correctly or not, I'd still be an ex-biker. I'll chalk it up to experience and make sure I don't make the same mistake.
