I normally make sure I'm in a good place in the lane to stop people making silly passes (like at islands). I certainly did.. I think that's why he didn't get out the car. I was already shooting and swearing before I hit it.

Thought that was you I saw on the news. Looked like you farted when approaching the junction, which had a similar effect to "vtec just kicked in Yo", so hard to determine how quickly you were approaching. Lol just kidding mate! When I was last out on the bike the thing that I felt was utterly vulnerable and scared. I tried my best to keep close to the kerb (which initself poses even more risks if your pedal catches the kerb plus pedestrians suddenly stepping out) when riding down the high street here but even then trucks were like cm's away from me. Approaching junctions basically felt like playing roulette. On saying that, been thinking that depending where our new house (if we ever bloody find it) I might be able to get the train to the far end of town where I work and bike it in from there. Wouldnt be as hardcore as you though! Could only do it in the warmer weather lol (I'm old so it's allowed!! ) Glad you're ok mate, as a cyclist/biker always comes off worst against cars/other vehicles. Hope you gave the idiot a rollicking! It's not just the injuries you get when you land after hitting a car etc, it's the injuries you can potentially get depending where you land. Land on the side of oncoming traffic and it can be horrific, and sadly sometimes fatal. Hope you get the bike fixed soon bud
