I've really gotta change my flamin' route...
A bit further down the road this time, I'm in the cycle lane heading towards another traffic island, a car goes past quite close but I let it slide as he's turning right just before the island.
Idiot in a black M5 goes past at warp 9, realises there's a car ahead and he slams on the anchors, pulling into the cycle lane RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
I managed to stop ok and (stupidly) shook my fist. He looked in the rearview and stuck his middle digit up with a smirk before speeding away again.
What a prat... Although I had the last laugh when I calmly passed his car as it was pulled by the plod (they can do something right apparently).
