RIP Mate and condolences to your family.

I had four near misses on my way back from Suffolk last night in the rain on the A14 and M6. One car came straight off a junction right in front of me (I was in the middle lane trying to keep out of the way of everything and then he slammed on his brakes for nothing Its not like he could not have seen me (with the bloody great bright red waterproofs i had on) or heard me for that matter In fact when you think about it, i am not sure that I ever not get at least one near miss on any bike journey over 5 mile or so. Bloody roundabouts are the worse
