I got 'stopped' by a woman pulling out of a driveway to a factory carpark. Was riding at around 25-30mph as i was coming off a bend and saw her inching out. So i slowed down even more as i got closer and she decided to pull out...thats not the bad thing, i would have gone around her, IF SHE HADNT STOPPED DEAD OVER MY LANE!
Hesitated and didn't commit herself to what she was doing, dosey bitch!
She drove off after i had hit her car too! I mean, i smashed her drivers window with my head and shoulder?!? I also sandwiched my right leg between the engine and her car. I had all the kit...armoured boots, jacket, trousers, gloves...didnt stop my leg from being smashed up and my shoulder being ruined.
She pulled out perfectly at the last minute so i had NO time at all to steer out of it!
So anyways, my advice would be:
Buy the GOOD shit to wear, they can be costly but safer that way,
And avoid women drivers like the plague lol assume they are after YOU
This is why I only ride off road bikes! Stooooopd moo
