Hi guys just thought i would share a near heart attack experience from yesterday lol. I was riding back from london (weather was glorious) on the m25, as i left the m25 to join the M3, a car decided at the last minute he wanted to leave the motorway without even looking he pulled onto the slip road at the last minute, i had to swerve onto the hard shoulder to avoid him. That was my first scare on a motorbike and it was horrible. But he then said sorry so that makes it all ok NOT lol.

Motorway both bore & scare me all at the same time...

And that's why I never plan on using motorways! xD id rather take 3 times as long to get where I'm going and enjoy the ride aswell as not have the chaos or other road users

The motorways are not nice places on a bike :( good job you had the hard shoulder there!

[thomas02543]

yes very good job, imagine if it was another lane and there was someone there shudder lol< anyway dabz how much would it cost to get some stickers for my bike?

They're just a 50p donation mate, I can bring some to the h&c on weds if you like?

[thomas02543]

Yes that would be great thank you

when you are out there always ride like everyone is out to get you and that no one has seen you..

good luck!

Drivers tend to get tunnel vision on Motorways. If I have to use them them only for short distances.

Glad to here you didn't get tagged :)

What a moron!! Mind you the M25 to M3 interchange is a horrible junction. Have to go that way a few times a year and always find myself wishing I had eyes in the back of my head there.

Don't mind riding on motorways, is dull, but gets you here when you need to.

My tipis to be hi-viz and in the centre of the lane.

I always avoid motorways if I can. Unfortunately lane switching is common place. Pleased you are ok though.

Glad you're ok! I wont ever use motorways after a nasty experience at Christmas at night in pouring rain surrounded by some real plonkers!
