My mate and I discussed the dangers at length this weekend. After our encounter with the morons we wondered what the accident stats are like for careful riders such as ourselves. In 300 miles I made two cancellations of multi-vehicle overtakes that I should have decided not to pursue in the first place. I had plenty of time and space to cancel both before overtaking the final vehicle - without any drama involved. I also discovered a large iron manhole on my line on a wet corner - perhaps an even more gentle entry would have allowed a correction but I was slow enough that there was no loss of grip anyway. I do think about these things quite a lot - mainly to avoid future repetition. Every ride's a re-education to be safer next time whilst still enjoying a bike.
