I would love to see you take an observed run with a traffic officer -
look officer, stop this condescending claptrap about anticipation - I
know how to drive you know.

So your description was not accurate?

Stop being so defensive. From the clues you posted, I would not have
put my car where you put yours, as there was a risk he would go right.

A sign of a poor driver is they can't be told anything about driving.

Right, so if there is no escape route, one doesn't put the car there
(remembering of course acts of god have been discussed)!

Much better not putting your car there in the first place. The other
car did not have a blowout or medical problem leading to a swerve - you
ignored clues of indecision and thus did not anticipate. Learn from
your mistake and move on.

this is your invention, you have taken me having taken avoiding action
and invented that I do not understand the value of anticipation and
started explaining how to suck eggs, meanwhile you ignore all my
questions re the *current* thread.

how about you moving on and answering my questions re this thread
rather than banging on about your interpretation about something you
didn't see relating to a previous thread and its pretty obvious i'm
never going to accept your point of view which is based on the fact I
commented on two driving situations in a shortish period of time?
