    Driving home from work and she needed to make a phone call, so pulled in to the side of the road. This is a straight, rural road with a slight uphill. Good visibility.

    As she is on the phone, she sees a cyclist coming up the hill behind her. Looks again - still coming. Looks again (panicking now) and the cyclist runs straight into the back of her white van.

    The guy has blood coming from his chin and is a bit shaken. Keen to carry on, she talks him out of it applies a bandage and calls his wife, then drives him and his bike home a couple of miles.

    His explanation for not looking where he is going? He uses that road lots and there's never anyone parked on it.

    Danger of using same route all the time. You run the risk of switching off. Car turning down Dolphin Rd from Lanark road queue the other day I found well surprising.

    Good work by your wife, and a cautionary tale for dozy people, of which I am assuredly one.
