| Comment | Sure, but when no one else is on the road except the two of us with over a minute until the Charing Cross exit?
I personally think the most reasonable explanation for it is they were following their sat nav's instructions without observations or signals so when we passed junction 15, the satnav told them to turn / keep right and they just moved over without any observations or signals.
I don't move over early specifically because I have a paranoia about people's blind spots (and A-pillar blind spots when I'm moving through junctions with someone signaling right).
I constantly adjust my speed and observe people so that if someone does something reckless or doesn't seem me, I have options to escape or stop and I think that's one of the reasons why I only have one close call when I've heard other riders talk about numerous events on the road.
I also like to fast past cars because it makes the bike trigger the loud induction noise as well as making the maneuver quick. Most people drive well in my view, but there's a silly amount of people on the road who genuinely don't seem to think about what they're doing at all. |
