Hey all well today i was sat at a junction i looked both ways and everything was clear so i started to pull out slowly and saw a head light i slamed the brakes on but it was too late a scooter went into the front of my car.Now the bloke on the scooter was not in the wrong i was.Luckily he is ok and did not even go to hospital but both his scooter and my car are fucked.So please people be carefull on junctions and look out for bikes.

Cheers pete.

For shame *gives you a slap on the wrist*
drivers need to think more when you see a biker. they can appear to be going much slower then they actually are. its not easy for a biker to serve aswell! and we've got no abs either.

sorry to hear mate, whats most important is that you & the biker where not hurt... cars & bikes can be replaced.. lifes or limbs cant...

we read way to many horror stories of members or fiends getting hurt this time of year.. keep it safe out there ppl!!

i used to drive a long wheel based sprinter up and down london quite alot and it was a NIGHTMARE with the motorbikes and cyclists, don't know how i didn't hit anyone but you just have to be soo careful.

tonight after driving home from keith (a 7 minute drive) i had to take the long way around as the valley i have to pass through would have been flooded...

the drive went well, but as i got to what i thought would be a decent road, (due to the rain it didnt show) there was a layer of an inch of water, which with semi slics caused me to slide.. god forbid i pressed my breaks or was going faster tahn 40kmph..

moral of the story:

be ready for the unexpected this time of year lads n ladies!!
