I did not have time to break. In the microsecond it happened. I was on my motorbike, and this car driver pulled out right in front of me.. I thought it extremely likely that I was about do die within the next few seconds, but i was also learning to fly gliders at the time...I flung my bike over, and just missed him.
He didn't look, but I knew exactly which car it was
No damage whatsover, but my heart was racing
So I followed him. until he got caught in traffic at the next roundabout...
I parked my Motorcycle in The Traffic in front of his car.. and walked up to him, still with my crash helmet on....
I says - come on wind down your window, so I can talk to you.
He knew exactly what he had done. He didn't mean any harm. he just didn't look - chatting to his girlfriend.
Now he was extremely worried. He probably thought I was a hells' angel and now he thought he was about to die.
He put his head in the footwell terrified, with his girlfriend trying to hide him
I am not a hells angel, but he didn't know that.
I actually felt like a policeman, and just walked away.
Look next time
Dunno about him, but I'm still here alive 50 years later
