Highway speeds heading for Broome.  Driver of an approaching 4WD went to sleep at the wheel, drifted across to my side of the road less than 100 meters in front of me and went past on my left, taking out the white posts.   He steered back on the road behind me and kept on going. Scared the crap out of me.

I'm afraid I don't get the Poll options, as they are all the same.   :think1

We had a minor incident in Port Pirie yesterday and the third one in nearly nine years.  Driver of a HR truck coming out of side street on our left didn't quite see us until the last moment. We were in the RH lane slowing down for a RH turn and just about to enter the slip lane so no issue about being hit or anything but I think the driver got a wake up call........lol

laST year, coming home, I was 2 STreets from my home behind 2 cars going up a hill .There was a green Camry who immediately after the 2 cars ahead had passed  pulled out from the left in front of me, then he saw me. If he had kept going he would of made it out and I would have gone behind him.But NO he hit the brakes, SO DID I, stopping about 1" of his drivers door, with his face through the window with a  :eek  SMIDSY look, after a quick  :cuss I heard and saw his wife in Sari sitting in the back seat heavily  :cuss  :cuss  :cuss at him, the Indian driver sat there in shock, and I had to tell him to get out of my way. InSTead of driving on I had to walk the bike back far enough to ride on passed him STill being  :cuss  yelled at. A week or so later while parking at the local shops this bloke walked up and STarted apologizing profusely and said his wife now sits behind him to lQQk out for bikes and smacks his head if he dosent pay attention,,,  :crackup

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
