I got some new spy glasses, so I wanted to try them out on my bike ride to the hospital today. I had tested them in my living room, but I wanted to see how they handled the bumping during a ride.
As luck would have it, I experienced three really bad driving incidents, each of which might have got the driver banned, and I was so pleased that I had it all recorded.
First, a long truck tried to overtake me right next to a small roundabout on a dual carriageway. He got his cab past me in my lane, then moved right across to the curb so that I had to emergency brake behind him. Luckily, some cars were coming round the roundabout, so he had to wait, which gave me time to go outside him and timed perfectly to slip between those cars and carry on.
At the next roundabout, there are three lanes for right, left and straight on. I was in the middle lane. He chose the left lane. When I was halfway round, he switched lanes and ran me into the third lane. His only problem was that he didn't notice that the lights were red and went through.
I was riding along so smugly with it all recorded close up in 1080p, then a mile later I remembered that I had taken out the SD card and forgot to put it back in after initial testing. Gutted!!!!!!!!
