im just as alive as you ......just takes u longer to get to work 
nah on a serious note though, on a bike your at risk but when im riding im always very alert!
i just judge gaps in advance, how ever , i was cyclind down a foot path across a road with the center bit of path going quite quik, and i judged the speed of the car so i wouldnt have to slow down very much and i would just squeez past the back ov it, how ever just as i got to about 3-4 foot from this car he decided to break and steer towards me, so i had to grab both break leavers and my only just made it round with the back skidding....... i shoulda just stacked straioght into hid car and bent tho door in

Well ive bought a 1999 DB7 Vantage 6.0litre V12 in Derwent Green, 40,000 miles, 3 owners and full Aston Martin Service History.
I couldnt test drive it cos my right foot snags the brake pedal before coming into contact with the tiny hidden gas pedal, my head is against the roof! (6 foot) and i wasnt overly impressed with the cabin size, ford door locks, idiot lights, corrosion to some painted panels within the engine compartment and quality for such a mark. But the wife loves it so its a deal at any price.
Thanks for all your input and thoughts.

Top man Knox do good stuff. It's very scary to know just how easily you can paralyse yourself.
