A world of indifferences

[Reckless Rat]

This is one of the reasons that a lot of drivers/riders come to grief on rural roads. It's not just a question of being able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear. You have to dial in the fact that whoever or whatever comes in the opposite direction ALSO needs room to stop, and allowances have to be made. ALWAYS expect the unexpected. It WILL happen, one day. You were lucky, Andrew.
