We’re driving over to the pub for our post-walk meal. To get
to the pub, the road crosses a bridge over the river. Crossing points for this
river have been a bit scarce recently as a number of road accidents have caused
them to be closed and re-built. This particular bridge also has a narrow lane. There’s
a dedicated footpath painted on the road, and vehicles aren’t permitted to pass
at the same time. There’s also some lights to allow people to turn off the main
road since the bridge further up is under repair. People coming uphill have the
right of way. So I set off to cross the bridge then a pickup truck comes
hurtling towards me at speed. He thinks he can force me to give way. The only
thing that I could do was jam my brakes on and blast my horn so that he doesn’t
hit me.
