Nearly minus my son :(
Son arrived home from college not long ago. He is quite shaken. He just
missed being splatted by a car speeding through the village. He had lights on bike (lit and multitudinous) and was wearing reflective gilet with three wide nads of reflective around the body and reflective stripes over the shoulder. The Unfit Family cycle in hours of darkness using the 'lit up like a Christmas tree/low-flying UFO' principle. The son was in the process of doing the final RH turn into the private lane we live on. He looked behind him - nothing coming - signals right - moves to centre of road (but still LH of central line) - hears engine roaring up from behind swiftly followed by squeal of brakes as tw@t speeds through village and overtakes the cyclist who is signalling to make a RH turn... Thankfully son had his wits about him and *didn't* attempt the RH turn... if he had, I'd likely be minus a son by now. Sad to say in the heat of the moment, son didn't get the twunts registration number. On the plus side, I'm just exceedingly grateful son is alive, physically unhurt, just scared witless for a while. He has had a huge hug and shall be getting more. -- ~~ SUPPORT THE CYCLISTS DEFENCE FUND http://www.cyclistsdefencefund.org.uk/ ~~ to send reply email - you may need to remove dependence on fame & fortune from organisation to get correct email address ~Noodliness is Good~ |
