Nice eh !

This within 400 yards of home.....

Just set off, going downhill on our estate, a guy in an Astra just pulls out from the right in front of me, I swerve, and have to go down the inside. Shout "Oi, Look where you are going"..

Drivers window is down, out comes the usual "F'ing W*****".

Stopped at the junction, driver right behind, leaning out of window, carries on. I unclip both feet turn round and tell him to "Look where he is F-ing going before pulling out"......

Driver "F-ing shut it or I'll break your bones'.....:ohmy:

Me..."Ha big man.." ;)

Driver shouts abuse again as I pedal off.....me "no it's you who is the ********'...........

Good grief, what is it with folk who make a mistake eh.... Maybe I shouldn't have shouted "Oi" very loudly - obviously woke him up. :biggrin:

It's on cam, so I'll have a look later.

Funny thing was, as I turned round, the whole inside of the car was lit up bright red - Mars 3,4 and a superflash shining in...must have blinded him he was that close. :rolleyes:

Had very similar today, going down a hill, wvm man tries to overtake me and nearly hit and island. he then overtakes me and stops in traffic straight away, i pull up next to him and asked him polietly what he was doing, he says and points to the gutter " you cycle here, F*** OFF!" and he sped away. unfortuantly i don't think my sound on my camera was working so i didn't actually get him saying that.

I'm lucky if I get away with only one such incident per ride. I thought it may be me getting too high and mighty about my own safety, but talked to other and they have similar experiences. I have however changed my ways a little. I avoid swearing at all costs. Not swearing seems to really anoy some drivers?

Yesterday, according to my friend who was sat back a bit, a fellow reached over from the passenger seat across his muttering wife at the wheel to sound their car horn repeatedly at me. I was in the wrong lane - we all make little mistakes, but wait a second - I'm fixing it! Peace man!
