Sad news. :(
An ambulance hit a child yesterday on the London road in Bath i think. :-/ Would seem that no amount of specialist training will keep you from having a collision.

On a separate note - http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/inyourtown/wiltshire/10277413.Lucky_escape_for_motorcyclist_pushed_60_m etres_by_lorry/

Firstly i hope it was no one from here? Secondly, WTF. He only stopped after cars were flashing him coming the opposite direction... I think if it was me and i was still walking after that i would have battered the driver with my helmet >:( There is no excuse for that no matter how big you vehicle is.
Would be interested to know if the driver was foreign. It would appear from various media sources that the influx of foreign drivers drive on a licence from their home country for which the test is below standard compared to UK. Why has there been no law change on this for UK companies employing foreign drivers?!?!?!?
