I was struggling up a local hill with a bus coming down the other way. There wasn't really enough room to overtake but the car behind me did it anyway. They didn't even try to pull out, just squeezed past me with about 5 mm to spare.
Caught up with them at the next lights (natch) and knocked on the window and shouted whether or not they had even seen me back there.
The young woman driver seemed apologetic so I went on my way.
Thinking about it later on I realised that I might just have turned a normal driver who just made an error into a cyclist hating monster who will cut up every cyclist the see in future
My point is, is it really worth shouting at drivers. I know it's difficult not to in the heat of the moment but next time I'm going to make an effort not to respond so angrily
