i know where you mean and i wouldn't attempt a turn like that there

do you mean you would swerve around children or do a turn in the road. i didnt want to do a turn in that road. you know how theres little car parks on the right hand side, thats where i trying to turn, but the kids were blocking them all. so i didnt know what to do and i pulled over for thirty seconds. wen i pulled off you know wat happened....

i would anticipate the children and try not to swerve

i would not attempt a turn in the road there (or on that kind of road)

it's exceptionally dark, very twisty and you don't know what's coming

(a friend of mine hit a deer in the road not far from there)

If there was a group of children in the road, and the opposite carriageway was clear, then yes I'd use it to pass them.

That would be the end of the hazard for me.

I could then accelerate back to 30mph.

Some idiot has parked on double yellows on partly on the pavement then pulls back into my path of travel.

You should of paid more attention to other road users, you should not have stopped on double yellow lines, and you should of waited until the road was clear and you could see that nothing was coming. Why do you think it's alright that you pulled into the path of a vehicle who was obeying the speed limit?

Be thankful that you only pulled out on a car and not on a motorcyclist.

have you not been listening...... there was no one in my vision from behind. he obviously sped around the pedestrians....

Could you see through the pedestrians? No.

Could he pass the pedestrians safely and then get back to the speedlimit? Yes, then you pulled out on him.

hold on, so you're saying that you would just swerve around them in a small road. what if a motorcyslist was on the other side of the road. oh "i'll just knock the motorcyclist over, at least ive passed the hazard......"
