It must be thirty years ago, but I will always remember. I drove over the brow of a slight rise at a speed such that I could stop in the distance I could see to be clear. As I went over the brow I saw a police motorbike coming towards me on my side of the road. He was only doing about 30 mph but that was enough to mean I could not stop in time. He was escorting a huge group of racing cyclists so he could not move over onto his own side. I was driving a big transit with a loaded car trailer. Will never know how, but I managed to slow a lot and run partly off the edge of the road. He just continued at 30 mph without realising there was a problem.
