First ever contact with a vehicle while on the bike last nigh. May any future contacts be as innocuous.
In a stream of traffic, parked cars to the left, but being passed. All OK. I was approaching a LH bend in the road and a 4x4 passed a bit too close for comfort. It happens. But then I found out it was pulling a trailer which was a bit wider and I was being squeezed as it was going round the bend. The back part of the trailer just brushed against my thigh.
I managed to keep up with it and after a mile it was pulling in and the passenger had got out to open a gate to a garage lot. I took the opportunity to let the driver know that his driving was bad and that he'd hit me. His answer was that he couldn't pull out too far because of the trailer. I pointed out that that meant he should not have attempted to overtake me in the first place, and that, given that we'd arrived there at pretty much the same time he hadn't even saved time. At that point there seemed little point in debating further, and his passenger was returning so it would have been 2 against 1, so I went on my way.
