Yess, well I was riding as 80 on the motorway, what else should I have done to let them pass me? I wish they had! (I generally let people pass if I perceive that they want to go much faster than I do, OR that they are an aggressive driver who will sit on my tail and make me uncomfortable.)
Well, had I smacked into them, it would hold them up for a lot longer! (Assuming they stopped...) But I do understand the familiar route and low visibility thing. I /think/ they saw me coming (misjudged speed) otherwise they may not have pulled out so fast... who knows.
I like this idea
I definitely need some emergency braking practice. I did use the front as well, but not as much as I could have (I was also not trying to stop in a straight line, rather trying to slow down enough and miss the van - I may not have stayed upright if I'd grabbed a handful of front!). Anyway, yes, I suspect it was as much luck as skill, so thanks for the polite suggestion to work on the skill side of it![]()
