It is a good reminder that just because you are on your side of the road and doing the right thing, it pays to keep an eye on who is coming towards you, there is always a possibility that they might drift onto your side, one always has to expect the unexpected and be prepared to take avoiding action. Same goes for right of way at intersections etc, just because you have right of way, doesn't mean the guy approaching from you right has his act together or even knows the rules (or isn't on the phone or otherwise distracted) Again, all the best to the 2 ladies, but how about we all try to learn from others misfortune.....
