No, no, it wasn't us!

Driving back from a day out just now, we came up behind a cyclist, who was toiling up a hill, towards a narrow traffic light junction. As there wasn't room to pass, NT slowed right down, and waited to pass once it was safe.

Of course, some dimwit behind us got impatient, and beeped. The cyclist looked round, and I'm sure he thought it was us. And although we both shrugged in an exasperated "It wasn't us!" way, I suspect that he could easily have taken that as and exasperated "Get out the way!" shrug.

Once we could pass, I called through the open window "That wasn't us, it was someone behind!", but of course I expect that just sounded like all the other gibberish that gets shouted from cars.

So in case you're on here, it wasn't the Skoda estate hooting. I think it might have been the woman in the white hatchback who pulled up alongside us at the next lights, sporting a face like a consumptive badger.

:laugh: Typical cyclist abuse. The driver honks, gestures and then shouts as they're overtaking - search your Reg on Youtube in 24 hours ;)

I was more then two car lengths behind driving at about 4mph all the way from before the pinch point to well after the junction before looking for an overtaking opportunity.

The woman behind came up fast and probably couldn't, or rather didn't want to, see what I was slowing right down and crawling through the traffic light junction for.

This is the traffic light junction.

If you progress forwards through the traffic lights you can see why I was holding back for so long.

She might have just trying to get away from the badger culls.!
