For how many miles I do a year, I don't actually come across that much bad driving (if you know what I mean).
So I'm cycling along a road this morning minding my own business. I haven't signaled my intention to turn right as there's no one coming toward me and nobody behind me. Straight forward enough? So as you'll see in the video 4x4 pulls out right in front of me. At this point I wasn't too annoyed, I was taking the next right anyway so I just move across to do so. 4x4 man then indicates that he's going that way as well. I look in the window and he's shouting something at me, I can't hear him bit I imagined it wasn't all that nice. I take the decision to allow him to pass as I don't want irate 4x4 man following me up such a narrow street. sooo, I get to the end of the street and he's out of his car getting the kids out for school. As I pass he says "A signal would have been nice" WTF? so then we have an exchange of words.
My point being what difference would me signaling have made to his bad driving and what was the signal for "please don't run me over". I think his point was that he knew he was in the wrong but wasn't going to admit it. At one point he said "you weren't going that fast anyway" well that's OK if you run me over slowly then!
There's another couple of bit of driving that annoyed me, but they were pretty run of the mill.

Sorry for the long rant!
