But how could you have checked if it was safe for you to turn without pulling out from the junction ?
Mrs R - a very similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago .
I was turning right into Dunstans Rd from Cornflower Terrace .Just after 9am .
Had to pull out into Dunstans because of parked vans on corner of Dunstans and Cornflower .
I was stationery and watched in horror as a scooter drove down Dunstans into my car .
My insurance are treating it as a dispute .Damage to bike ,hire of bike and injury are being claimed .
Dunstans is a longish perfectly straight road ,if you're driving down it there is good visibility.
Same for Friern Rd .
Sadly I need additional help to stick to 20mph on local roads .
I do have WAZE and see that I can have spped alerts turned on but presumably this would mean entering a route for each drive ?
Is there a better app that will track my speed and alert me when I'm getting close to the limit ?
Last week .So cheerful and kind .And almost made me feel like a normal person when trying to load ,single handedly ,large items into a car ,I'm clearly not !
