Friday 13th Commute **VIDEO WARNING**

[Eat MY Dust]

I had a really nice commute in today and was amused this morning by some bad driving. One just a terrible example of how to drive the world smallest car and 3 examples of impatient, dangerous drivers. I especially like the undertaking Jag who only got as far as the traffic lights where there was about 20 cars waiting to hold him up!

God there are some twats out there aren't there?

Personally, I really hate drivers who overtake me only to have to stop 10 to 20 yards up the road because there's a frigging JUNCTION!!. Or worse still, overtake when there's a parked car up ahead which they have to stop behind, whereas I could have carried on, if I wasn't now stuck behind them! GGRRRRRR.

I need to get a small video camera like you to record it!

That was a bit of a leisurely pace for you ......

You really have to put up with some dreadful driving. I am glad that the drivers I encounter on my commute are not as bad as this. But, most of my commute is on country roads.

The big Porsche overtake looked very scary

I don't often show uphill parts Wait until it's light enough to show me coming down the hill where the Porsche overtook!

I didn't notice anything other than the big silver car passing close, but that was forseeable surely, I move wide early for anything like that, just in case they fancy squeezing through

And I use a fair bit of wobble and zigzag (potholes mostly) to discourage the squeezers

the bloke pulling out? you let him out surely?

BMW X5 = Guaranteed bad driving..

It wasn't the bloke pulling out that I was highlighting. The guy from the garage had stepped out into the street to stop the traffic so that he could pull out. I saw this and stopped, the guy behind me decided to floor it. The garage guy was not amused. You can't really see from the video but he makes a nutter sign at the guy as he passes. He then thanked me for stopping.

The other things in the video were the Matiz driver mounting the kerb (although it's not that visible) and 2 very close overtakes. The last one even undertakes and then pulls in front of the car he's just undertaken. If you think that's "normal" driving, then I'm glad you commute by bike rather than a car!
