Had my first close call today. I was traveling to Morwell from
Churchill and was coming up the the Hazelwood Power Station turnoff. I could
see two cars parked on one of the traffic islands and slowed down a bit. It
seems that there had been a collision and there was a bit of action. A car traveling
from Morwell and turning towards Hazelwood was taking in the action too, pity
they failed to see me and turned without giving way to me. Lucky there were
no other cars and I was able to turn to the right and miss them. Bloody
RubberNecks. And here I was thinking it was such a beautiful day to be
out riding.
I think the same thing happened to those two cars judging my the skid marks
and the front end damage to one of the cars. You just can't be too careful seems
to be the way to live your life.
