I almost had one of those today, rider looked left, but I was coming from right, but nothing coming from left so he tried to pulkl out.. I knew he would so already braking hard by time he saw me.. Maybe same covidiot I was delivering shopping for a self isolator friend.
Let’s hope the rider is ok, but Blackwater seems to have a lot of accidents lately…
Bell end .
Blackwater, seems to be a bit of an accident hot spot just recently
Not another Domino delivery at break – neck speed ? or worse still, one of those rediculous illegal green things ?
If by green things you mean e scooters they are NOT illegal. Maybe get your facts right.
they are illegal unless hired
