Hit from behind

[Pat "5mph"]

Thanks Pat. You should have seen me, gesticualting so wildly I could have been mistaken for an Italian!

No wonder, it was a bit of a shock, no? I would have called the driver "testa di c***o" at least

In a very similar vein i had a veteran driver pull out of his drive in front of me last week, it was down hill so i was going quiet briskly and when i shouted to raise his attention i heard a shout saying i was only a cyclist,then proceeded to overtake and left the car behind as it was a 20 mph max speed car..

I had one of those a year ago. Lady driver left hooked me, nearly spilling me onto the pavement. I caught up with her at the next set of lights and banged hard on the window only to see she was about 80. I was all for a full on rant, but when I saw her frightened expression, luckily I calmed right down and just explained she needed to slow down behind cyclists then turn behind not in front of them. Not sure the message really sunk in, but I felt like a prize prick for the initial shouting and window banging. Most of the close calls I have are with older drivers, whenever I see one I try and give as much distance as possible. Some of them clearly shouldn't be driving, but that's another thread........

Anyone remember those orange plastic cars that used to be about or the even worse blue ones that only got to 20
