Out earlier doing some shopping (less than a mile return).
I was near the centre of a quiet minor road, carefully dodging the potholes.
Female driver decided she just HAD to go past me. Clearance about 30mm
Then there was a very loud bang. Her right hand rear wheel had gone down a very deep pot hole (her wheel must have been touching the kerb to do it). The scraping noise as she stopped, with the RH side of her car drooped over the wheel, was painful.
I slowed down and crawled past as she got out. I couldn't resist saying "The Highway Code does say you should allow cyclists the same amount of room as a car, you know".
If I put down what she called me Shaun will throw me off CC, but I'm male so don't own one, evil or otherwise.
