If You Can'T See My Mirrors

If you can't see my mirrors I can't see you Learn to stay back So we both have a view No I don't need an accident on my hands I 'll be observant as possible But you've got to understand If you're in my blind spot I won't see you I'm not a mind reader Don't make me feel blue So don't take chances If you're not sure Staying close beside me By the passengers door No don't ever cross In front of my path It's a stupid manoeuvre And it might be your last So to all the cyclist This is what I say It's a truck drivers nightmare Just to get through the day We will respect each other out on the roads But if you can't see my mirrors Just make sure you're on show Where a bright viz orange or yellow © Copyright KC.

There are so many tragedies on the roads Kevin - I wish it was compulsory for cyclists and motorbike users to wear high visibility clothing. You can imagine what it is like here on the Isle of Man with the TT races being held here - a mecca for bikers a potential nightmare for car drivers - great write a 7 from me:-) Hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan, Yeah' you can say that again bikers are the worst, in London you have to be extra vigilant. Because they will take unnecessary risks!!! And the amount of accidents that could be avoided, lets hope that drivers are taut to be more aware this includes everyone one on the road. Thanks for your comments they are appreciated. Best wishes Kevin

Are you a truck driver Kevin? .... Many on the road have are offensive minded and are aggressive.... You always need to drive defensively
