Question Author
Thanks for ll your answers, i do tend to ride in the middle of my lane and only move a bit closer to the left side when a car is climbing up my backside, and to answer your question zacmaster, it is a 50cc moped but it is a 4 stroke so sounds somewhat respectable compared to the rubbish 2 stroke hire bike i have had for the last 2 months! My bike has a distinct rumble to it which makes the ground vibrate, Strangely, i quite like the sound it makes. :-) I shall take all your advice and continue to stand my ground. Oh and davethedog, when i say 'cautious' i mean that i am alot more aware of things around me, I am constantly looking in my mirrors (not literally obviously, i do keep an eye on the road in front of me lol), baically, i just take alot more care on the road than i used to, since i now know how much hassle an insurance claim is when i fall off or get knocked off!!! I hope i never have to go through that again! :-)
