SUV ignores me and pulls out
Incident type: Close call
Any incident that almost results in a crash.
NSW plate 5tuart – Ford Mondeo 2008
Stuart was in a rush to work and didnt care about anyone else.
I was riding north up Barrack Street from Riverside Drive, in the cycle lane. There is very, very clear signage of no left hand turn into Geoffrey Bolton Avenue. Because of this, although the Nissan was indicating left, I assumed that this must have been left by accident on from prior and that they would not turn left due to it being clearly prohibited. I was wrong, very nearly colliding with them as they turned left across my path. What’s the point of having road signs if some people feel that they can ignore them?
Approaching a roundabout on Papamoa Beach Road, the VW pulled out of the roundabout in front of me. Road conditions were wet.
Did not stop at give way and nearly collided
Driver had a brain glitch. Plenty of passing clearance but then turned through the space I would have occupied if I hadn’t slowed down.
Local police don’t respond to close calls.
