It was a beautiful day in WA yesterday and I was out riding by my house. There is a great road with lots of curves. I got stuck behind a truck pulling a horse trailer. The guy was going really slow and I saw him looking at me in his side mirrors. He pulled into the middle turn lane and slowed almost to a stop. He didnt have his blinkers on so I figured he was going to let me pass on the right. Big mistake. I started to accelerate by the truck when he suddenly started to turn into a driveway on the right. I braked hard and luckily he saw me. Im pretty sure I would have been able to stop but it would have been close. The guy didnt have his turn signal on but I should have waited a little longer to see exactly what he was going to do. Lesson learned.

 

i hate when people dont use their blinkers.

Glad you are ok. Always ride like EVERY cage will try to kill you. That means defensively Take nothing for granted, because you just cant afford it on a bike like the cages can...

 

yea glad you are ok, you are gaining experience which is good, always be on guard
