cut me up on purpose !

It's not a phrase with any literal meaning, or one who's use should be encouraged with respect to road use.

Everyone had been very polite and reasonable to the OP, so to call it trolling is beyond laughable.

Riding to work yesterday morning (sun,so hardly any traffic) pull on to the island and then this car comes out of nowhere (ok,came from behind and over took me) , straight across me about 6in from my front wheel!

Mother T was never a trouble make, except for when she was hanging around under bridges, waiting for the billy goats......

Some of the responses might be perfectly polite, yet not nice all the same.

What a completely boring thread,who the hell started this shoot?

''Come out of nowhere'' is a perfectly acceptable figure of speech.

So is "sorry mate, I didn't see you" among many motorists. I don't see much difference.

I can't understand why you are giving the OP such a hard time.

Hard time? You must have led a very sheltered life!

Would have been much clearer that it was your own fault then. But at least you would have got some sympathy.
