Yesterday we were almost hit head on TWICE Stupid teenagers bombing round a bend on an extremely narrow country road. The first skidded to a halt and passed me slowly. I was just recovering from that when another idiot came round the bend and only just managed to stop in time. I was so angry and frightened and my mare was dancing up and down, I shouted a few choice words and said for gods sake slow down, you could have killed us!! He waited till I was halfway past him and bombed off again, SMIRKING . I had to get off and sit down I was shaking so much.
I was wearing Hi-Viz, riding on a (usually) VERY quiet country lane, and it was 7.30pm at night, we were also well over to our side of the road. I was so shaken up by it I have not been down to ride today :0(
I also regularly experience drivers passing far too close or fast, or skidding to a halt (admittedly they're trying at least), or most worryingly, ignoring my signals It's happened a couple of times now where I have asked the car behind to wait till I can see round a corner and wave them past me safely, or to wait so the car coming towards us (who has right of way) can pass, and they've ignored me and sailed past almost causing an accident Oh and I've also experienced a V sign when signalling for a driver to slow down
Hacking out is becomming WAY too dangerous.
