Sixth sense

Post by Cunobelin »

Sometimes one wonders about your "sixth sense"

Yesterday coming down through Cams Hall on the Gekko trike, the lights were red, and I looked in my mirror.

I just "felt" that the car behind was too fast and "not right" so I pulled into the slip and the Cams Hall estate.

I am so glad I listened to that feeling, as I f I had simply stopped at the lights......

It does come in useful,with varying results but never negative,unless it's not heeded.

Damned if you stop, squashed if you don't more like...
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Probably just that the driver wasn't planning on stopping for the light...
