Its dark, its wet, its raining and its on an island - the worst place for a cyclist to be.

Cycle assertively but defensively. That means, expect every nobber to pull out in front of you, but make sure you are clearly seen by the non-nobbers(of whom there are so many more). Same as piloting a tin box. Bad road conditions (wet) will also contribute to this......think how many more reflections off wet road surfaces drivers will have to evaluate/deal with, and how many more bad judgements there will be.

"Is there a point to this thread?"
Yep its cycle forum, and this is a commuting section here we discuss commuting.
Is there any point to your comment.

There is no excuse for its a cheeky slam your foot down and hope for the best.
This happens to me on a regular basis. Best to do is cycle with defense in mind almost expect people on roundabouts to act like twats.

My local mini roundabout which is just after a island road crossing and a pinch point is the most important place to be as everyone wants to over take or cut you up to sit in the que for the mini roundabout. Still revenge is sweet as I sail past them with a wave seems to do the job was intended to do
