I was driving into Maynooth earlier, having just replaced my clutch cable.
Nice sunny afternoon, and taking it handy.
As I approached a well known crossroads at Ladychapel I just had that thought / feeling...take her handy now
Local speed limit 80kph (50mph) but i think i was going slower.
In any case as I approached the junction, and I'm on the main road, a car came straight thru the stop sign from my left and turned left onto the main road in front of me....so fast that I have no doubt I would now be dead or injured. I guess it was a learner as there seemed to be a lot of hand gesticulation from the passenger. I didn't hang around
In any case, I Thank the Lord for having the presence of mind to keep me alert and I live to ride another day.
Alleluia Brothers ;-)
