poor mr.moped.

i find that if you're shaken up by a near miss it can lead to poor decisions in the next few moments. (eg accidental RLJ)

it's best to pull over for a little bit.

Yeah I felt for him after that incident but he seemed pretty un-fazed by it when I asked how he was. Stopping for a moment after something like that might not be such a bad idea though and let that adrenaline subside before you encounter something else that needs your proper attention.

@hammers262

Well, I pass through Ilford on my commute if that's what you mean. Still got a long way to go at this point though...

Yeah near accident caused by one of many aggressive drivers on Romford road -.-, I see a near accident everyday on this road. Sad really.

@xAmritHD

A very close call for sure but I think I'd give the benefit of the doubt on it. That is a difficult junction for the oncoming driver to see through all that traffic for bikes. I tend to ride very carefully on the approach there, especially if there is a queue already built up. But I take your point, it does tend to reveal the more aggressive or frustrated driver does Romford Road.
