Invisible Man

I believe there are days when you are completely invisible to all other road users… and for me, today was one of them.

While commuting home from work, 2 cars nearly drove head on into me while travelling down a narrow section of road lined with parked cars. I know they didn’t see me as the swerved and braked sharply at the last second, when they realised I was on the road. It wasn’t one car behind another either, it was two separate incidents about 20 seconds apart!

50 yards later, a lorry drove straight out onto a roundabout while I was on it, and I had to stop in the middle of the road to avoid being crushed. Even after he had cleared I had to stop/start twice because the cars behind him just kept on coming, even though I was on the roundabout and had right of way.

Finally, while turning into my street; two blethering pedestrians stepped off the kerb without looking, and I  skidded to a halt to avoid whacking into them. To top it off, they never even turned round… cough cough, until I started swearing at them.

Anyone else experienced the invisible man syndrome?
