Careless cager meets scooter rider??
Today on my way to my course in my cage, I had the misfortune to meet a scooter rider! I was driving along minding my own business, when I had occasion to veer left to avoid a car that had stopped to turn right. Next thing, there is frantic tooting on my left on the INSIDE of me. Despite regularly checking my mirrors- all three of them- I had not noticed the scooter rider riding on my left rear pillar, as he was in my blind spot. I pulled over and gave him such a talking to about where he should position himself on the road etc. Also explained that I was a rider so knew a little of what I was talking about.He confessed he didn't really know what he was doing. He was quite apologetic for having given me such a fright etc and seemed to take on board my advice.
However, had I bowled him- beleive me it was close- I would have been talked about as just another arrogant, ignorant cage driver who failed to notice the poor little scooter rider.
Guys- plesae be awre of your responsibilities as a road user and FFS ride wher you can be seen. it may very well save your life!
