Morning Boys n Girls,

I'm gonna sound like an overprotective mother hear but a Bike was T-boned by a Merc coming out of a side turning in Shenfield this morning..He's alive but its very messy!
So just a reminder to keep those 6th,7th & 8th senses on alert for partially sighted car drivers..

Ouch. Hope s/he's ok.
I have to keep telling myself to slow down, but I guess even when you're ambling along, you're still vulnerable to these idiots.

Yep, watch it out there.

I was trying to turn right out of a rail station car park last night onto a busy main road. An approaching driver on my right kindly slowed down and waved me out. I shook my head in disagreement. With a puzzled look she came to halt just to my right, and waved me out again, this time with a flash of the lights. I dismissed her again, and pointed at the motorbike which I'd spotted filtering about 100 yards back and by this time was just going past her.

I'd have cleaned the poor sod straight off.

She still didn't get it, and moved off shaking her head at me...

Guess you have to be a biker to watch out for stuff like that when stuck on four wheels.

Sounds like the same kind of thing happened in MK a few weeks ago - poor guy was killed.
