Spring into the Dales

[ColinJ]

During the same ride I'm certain I prevented a nasty head-on between 2 cars. I was on a tight narrow bend I heard a car accelerating to overtake on the bend. Being on the apex I could see an oncoming white Micra about to enter the bend and stuck out my hand. The bronze Audi behind stopped his overtake very suddenly, no doubt much to the relief of his wife and children who were with him.

Crazy, aren't they, drivers like that!

I was cycling along one of the narrow hilltop lanes round here once when a young woman breezed past me on the wrong side of the road round a blind bend. I thought how lucky she had been that there wasn't anything coming the other way. 10 minutes later, I came across her standing at the side of the road being shouted at by a van driver whose vehicle she had just hit on another blind bend!
