Nearly got taken out by a moron pick-up driver this morning.
I was on my scooter with Mrs cj, travelling at the speed limit ( because I was going through a built up area It's only 30mph/50kmh ), said pick-up was coming from the opposite direction and obviously didn't want to wait to turn to his right across my lane. ABS, diving for the kerb side of the road and beeping like a looney, the moron finally realised he didn't want to kill us after all and stopped a whisker from disaster.
It was a great shame the bike-cop that had been on my tail a little before was no longer there.
The general standard of driving here is quite abysmal though, with one of the highest road fatality records in the world, even after massaging the stats.
