RIP.
All it takes is a driver not being aware of being overtaken and perhaps a blown rear indicator bulb to make a tragic combination.

RIP. All it takes is a driver not being aware of being overtaken and perhaps a blown rear indicator bulb to make a tragic combination. More realistically a good lesson for us all not to overtake in places where we'll conflict with others. RIP fella.

Ride that piece of road all the time, you need to be very careful, it opens to a straight which is so tempting to fly past everything but its a busy turning and a lot of cars turn off their A sad day again RIP
