Comment	No, I'm just trying my best to avoid an argument. A lot of commenters have understood what I'm talking about and gave helpful advice, many mirroring my view that the best solution is to simply not be in it. Kind of similar to when I did take public transport and would avoid the cramped conditions of a rush hour train, nevermind the condition of the trains in general, by reading a book until it was quiet but I no longer have the spare time to spend nor the ability to fit my life into 20L backpack in comparison to a 400L boot. You're not being constructive or helpful. You seem to be trying to start an argument or segue into some monologue about commitment and dedication based on some weird conjecture that "I've not committed to being a better driver". It's a strange thing to focus on as you don't know me beyond what you may have gleamed from the comment section of me also having a motorbike license. I have taken advanced driving and riding courses which was provoked by how much more aware and focussed I became when I learned to ride a motorbike. But all of this is irrelevant. Limit point analysis, anticipation and prediction of hazards and road layouts by trying to understand what civil engineers might have been trying to solve when they chose the signs, speed and road markings for a stretch of road is irrelevant to this discussion. As is learning to control your body language and 'being like buddha' when confronted with a potential road rage scenario which is doubly important for bikers. What I want to know is, hey, someone put me in a dangerous situation that was nigh impossible to predict and avoid. The only solution was for me to assume this driver was going to try and intentionally run me off the road but that doesn't seem reasonable or within the scope of what instructors would teach in 'defensive driving or riding'. How do you handle this during rush hour in Glasgow? 'Get a dash cam', 'Try take the M73', 'Keep calm' were the best advice given. Now, I'm sorry if I've offended you, but you are genuinely giving me the impression that you want to argue with me which is why I'm trying my best to now verbosely explain the situation which seems crazy.
