Why do it in a company van?

8 Jun, 2020 - 6 years ago - on Wheatley Road

B4027 towards Islip just before the drop into Islip. For once I am taking the 'prime position' in the road/ trying to avoid death via potholes to the left. I had checked that the road was clear behind before moving out. Van from protyre.co.uk comes racing down hill behind me and speeds pass me on the blind corner. Van coming the opposite way around the corner has to take evasive action to avoid head on collision. The van passes me with inches to spare as I made my way back to the far left of the road. Ironically, this was literally an hour after I had done a TV news interview with BBC on a similar death experience I had the previous week.
