Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but I've noticed the drivers in Uenohara are appalling. Every time I ride through this place I almost get hit by at least 2 cars, no joke
Today after coming down from Uenohara Country Club I was passing through with EXTREME caution as I have learned to do and an old lady pulled in front of me as she made a right turn. Fortunately I saw it coming and was able to slow down in time and give her a lashing of my best Japanese. She bowed in apology...whatever!
Next, another old bird came past, braked and instantly took a left cutting me off and forcing me to brake hard. More verbal abuse from me but it was probably in vain as she was most likely as deaf as she was blind
Sorry, but just wondering if this has happened to anyone else in Uenohara after coming off Tsuru toge or Uenohara CC? I think this place must have a lot of retirement homes and pensioners.....
Take care out there, it seems to be the silly season. So many wanna be racer motorbikes, knob jockeys and old folk who shouldn't be on the road at all
