Dpd van approaching a give way at Etihad yesterday, I had r.o.w. on main road. I drifted out to Primary position on autopilot really and was glad I had when realised he wasn't stopping. He saw me v.late and slammed on when I was alongside. Think he had more of an Oh Shit moment about it than I did judging by his immediate reaction, then he pulled into a layby, stopped and put his head in his hands. I almost went back to check he was ok. First time in ages it's been that close a call.
Tldr: van driver made genuine mistake, cycle training ftw.
