Always been two witnesses, himself and car driver.
1 car driver + 1 bike rider = 2 witnesses
1+1=2
My three year old daughter was kind enough to do the maths for you.

It could be that ''pretty much right in front of me" meant too close to stop in time without hitting the rear of that vehicle, but with just enough gap to allow for a quick dodge to the right to avoid hitting the vehicle. It could also be that with upgraded brakes Phreak MAY have been able to stop (he has mentioned that he will now upgrade the brakes) but not with the brakes as they were at the time.

If the ignorant and self-loving Katman still feels the need to try and slur me, so be it. Pretty sure he knows what I think about his opinion. The facts remain - I know exactly what happened, and that I did my best at the time to avoid the accident. It's called the 'shit happens' theory, and that no-one can avoid every hazard every time, because some tend to occur when it's too late to do anything about it - as was the case in my accident.

Maybe the above mentioned person should just do as I have done, and get over it.
(Actually, I think it's kinda funny that he seems to feel bigger by putting other riders down! You poor man, you...!)

Well, he shared our quarters (his own room), and I certainly wouldn't condone him polishing his helmet on our deck!!!
Nah, if you are going to be engaging in dodgy behaviour, best not do it around me!

You know, I'm pretty sure that in the situation that Phreak found himself there was fuck all he could have done at the time. But there are a few things that might have averted the crash.

If on a quiet road with no cars to raise a fear reflex in a vehicle waiting to turn into your path:

(a) You should be backing off ever so gently.
(b) Bit of a weave to break the focus point for them and;
(c) Covering clutch and brakes and evaluating escape options because the fucker is going to turn in front of you.

Anticipation and awareness are our survival pocket aces. Leastways, I don't think you can survive the daily commute in Auckland without them
