    On the M11 southbound just after the Loughton Exit...2 Lanes closed, 2 cars and a van involved..2 lanes closed..

    Did not look pretty!


    Look, Signal, Move - Why do so many drivers forget such simple tasks..

    I ride down daily and the amount of drivers that change lanes without indicating or looking is appalling! i must say that through traffic i find truck drivers moving to the side etc more to make room..

    Normal car manoeuvre, as proscribed in the Highway Code

    Manoeuvre
    Signal half way through, this is an involuntary reflex action honed in during driving lessons
    Jump out of skin as bike glides past, rearranging expensive electric/heated/tinted/dimming door mirror
    Once safely in Bluewater car park, use reflective piece of glass stuck to inside of windscreen to fashion hair and adjust make up.
