On my commute there is a blind bend. Just the other side of the blind bend is a blind crest. There
are double white lines down teh middle of teh road (obviously, given two sequential obstructions to
visibility).
As I came round the blind bend, I couldn't work out the lights coming towards me for a moment or
two. Then it became obvious. Two cars were coming over the blind crest side-by-side, one zombie
pillock occupying most of my side of teh road. He couldn't easily pull back to his side of teh road
because he was actually overtaking two cars (the one behind tailgating teh one in front far too
close for comfort).
Luckily I was wearing my helmet, so am still alive to tell you about it (ho ho). Of course, teh fact
that of the four vehicles involved, I was awake and took evasive action may have contributed to my
survival. Had I been slightly less alert, I'm fairly confident I'd be dead, since car was not moving
slowly, and was still entirely on my side of teh white line as he passed me. Had I been a car, I
suspect he/she and I would both be dead.
Do these people actually have any sort of brain? It is utterly beyond my comprehension that anyone
could even conmtemplate overtakinmg just there.
Anyway, it was a little nerve-wracking, but luckily I am not contributing to BHITs misinformation
campaign on this occasion.
