Well not quite...
Cycling this weekend when I stop at some lights, sat in the secondary position.
Light turns green and I set off, check over my shoulder and move to the primary position.
At this point I'm travelling with traffic, roughly 18 mph, traffic is slower because there a bit of congestion.
The car in front of me is about 1 car length away so no space for an over take, plus a pinch point is only metres away.
There are 2 lanes now, left lane is for straight on, and the right lane is for right only. Im in the left lane and the cars in the right lane are slowing down to turn.
Next thing I know a car to my right swerves at me, with the window down beep, and swearing "farking blar blar.....!"
I call his bluff and hold my position and travel through the junction, obviously he has had to stop and cut in behind me. Few yards later a the road opens up, I know he goin to overtake, I also know he is crazy so I stay in the primary so I have an escape. Here he comes again, shouting and swerving at me. I have to move as he swerves to hit me, he then gets his car in front, slams on and I brake had and pull right up to the kerb.
He then drive off.
