Schadenfreude...

[vickster]

Riding out of Epsom tonight on the A24, minding my own business, probably moving at 15mph+ so not exactly holding up rush hour traffic, I hear a car coming up behind me as I approach one of the many bollard islandy things. This road is pretty vile and potholey so I move out into a slightly stronger secondary to go through the pinch point...car not slowing, glance over shoulder and he is trying to overtake through the pinch point, big bang as my friend hits the island, then rattle rattle, evidently having had a blow out and knackered the wheel

Is it wrong to think...serves you bl**dy right, maybe you'll be more careful in future when trying to overtake cyclists when you don't have room

If they are such a crappy driver that they have managed to hit one of the bollard island things, which are usually lit up, you should be thankful that the numpty driver didn't hit you!

No, it's not wrong

 

[Spinney]

Nope, not wrong.
Poetic justice, I'd call it.

 

[vickster]

Cheers . I was lit up like a Christmas tree with lights and a high viz jacket so he can't not have seen me!

 

[ShipHill]

Oh how I'd have laughed.

 

[vickster]

I did shake my head as I rode on and called him a pillock to myself!

 

[Ian193]

Served him right for being a twonk.

 

[Andrew_Culture]

Oh my, it's probably for the best that the roads do without him for a few days.

He'll probably tell his insurance company that he had to swerve to avoid a cyclist.

pmsl as a car driver and cyclist I always give a wide birth and slowing down through traffic islands, so serves the Prat right!!!

 

[vickster]

I don't know what car it was, hopefully something new and expensive with large alloy wheels

This happened to a car overtaking me once. Denmark Hill. I recall a shiver of pleasure amongst the adrenaline.

Better a bollard than some poor ped.
