. Sometimes you can keep yourself out of trouble by skill and judgement, but when things go wrong, it's almost all down to luck.
like the other night coming home braked at a set of lights as they changed
then spotted the van driver behind wasnt watching what was going on (too busy oggling a woman walking on the other side of the road ) and was closing on me too fast for him to stop without rear ending me
I took the option of "jumping" the lights which at this point had changed to red for about 2 seconds and took the immediate left turn to avoid as best i could any conflict with any other traffic which had just started to move and the fecker came through behind me straight across the junction
