I know where my towel is
Another impatient ignorant motorist, a bit sweary, but at least it didn't come to blows...

Do I need to get the spray plaster out?

It does always sort of surprise me that the filmer seems to think that talking to the "naughty person" (my words they have run away my brain is the mush it is 1/2 term) is a good idea,

Are there any videos where they say I am so terribly sorry about that now you have educated me I realise the error of my ways, thank you??

Seems like a big ol' waste of time & energy to me.

Yes is your answer. Some do admit it and say sorry. Further to that yes there are such videos.


That is good then. I had the lady what nearly ran me over say sorry, in fact, she said "sorry I did not see you I was answering my phone" I did not have a go I was too speechless and she said that on the afternoon of the incident that happened in the morning at pre-school pick up time.

I remember this, it did make me laugh that she seemed to think that we all wore special cycling clothes :laugh:
Her ignorance is remarkable... his choice to "educate" may not have been one I would have made, but then doing nothing and sending this to the police would have resulted in nothing happening, so not really a win either way...

:eek:

Says alot really that she thought it was acceptable to take her attention away from the road to answer the phone... :dry:
Especially as you tow a trailer around which could have had a passenger in it.

Well yes, she did not know that I did not have another small person inside as I was using the double trailer that day, she had seen me drop one small person off at the pre-school where she had just dropped her small person too.... my trailer also unbeknown to me until I got home was full on lit up as well (User76 can turn her inside fairy lights on from inside :laugh:) and the the sign did not get her attention that looks like this either

What really annoys me is the majority of these incidents. Driver at fault or not. Is the fact they think its okay to break in front of a bike, emergency stop. I am sure nine time out of ten and emergency stop in front of the bike is going to worse than than the incident in the first place.

I've been using a head cam for a few weeks now and have no desire to post the results. I find that some of the incidents that scare me at the time are not as bad as I thought when I review them but capturing them on film makes me feel better.
I'm a big chap and can be quite intimidating if I choose to but I don't' think arguing the toss with a knob head at the roadside is very useful.
