The oncoming driver sees nothing unusual. You reveal - again - how remarkably unobservant you are as a driver. And you've still forgotten about the drivers of the cars following that one.

Do you even have a license? At a closing speed of something like 50mph most drivers won't be looking at whats happening on the opposite side of the car thats passing you. If they did then theres a good chance *they* might hit a bike thats coming up in front of them. But then you could have a good little whinge about that couldn't you. >And you've still forgotten about the drivers of the cars following that >one. They'd be too far away to see the details of what happened other than the car clipped the bike. B2003

Do you even have a license? No response. So that would be a no then. That rather says it all. B2003

So - you don't have to pay road tax to use the roads? I'm sure Mr Darling will be pleased to know that. -- Dave - the small piece of 14th century armour used to protect the armpit.
