Re: 'Filtering' Accident
A nice little line in victim blaming going on here. Not at all. When asking an associate "what could you have done differently?" It is to make them aware that they often have choices that could mitigate the risk of injury or death. After all it is no consolation being right when you are l...

Re: 'Filtering' Accident
As demonstrated, while it might be legal it isn't what one would normally do in other queuing situations, such as waiting for the next bank teller.

One of the dozen
I'm one of the (alleged dozen) regular posters evicted by the IAM.
Passed the car test 25 years ago and bike test 16 years ago. I've worn many hats in my local group and strive to make a nuisance of myself at a national level in the hope of helping the organisation to become the best it can be.
