It is strange how much effort people expend to get their place in the traffic jam. Don't get it myself

While this is quite funny (and must have been extremely satisfying), I'd be extremely wary of putting myself in front of someone I'd just done this to. 99% of people will just go past you like this chap did, but if you ever come across the 1% who get the red mist and simply drive into you as punishment, you're unlikely to come off best.

this is the video I took off youtube . its back up as roadsafe say there is insufficient evidence of a RLJ offence ( i.e. Can't be arsed ??)
True, it's about 3-4 years ago, not something I'd done before or since. It was very much an 'of the moment' thing. The major catalyst for the action being after the guy refused to see what he'd done and came out with "I'm a cyclist too"!
That was very clearly an RLJ, with a nice view of the offenders vehicle.
I had another 167 this morning at the same roundabout as on Monday.
Yet again I caught them up as they got stuck in traffic, this time they wound their window down and bleated out, "you should be using the cycle path", I told him to go forth and multiply.
A doubly deserved reply as not only is there no cycle path there is no path at all.

Is this the motons new retort?
I've had this thrown my way in my last 2 encounters (since the turn of the year).
I had a bad overtake at a pinch point (despite being in primary, and the angle he had to take meant he couldn't recover and ended up with front wheel clipping the kerb.
Caught up with him inteh long queue at Cams Hall and asked him why?
He replied that he was a cyclist and knew just how much room cyclists really needed!

Oh, that is quite poor, Cunobelin. I'm sure you won't let the company ignore that one...

I once bought some fake tattoo armwarmers so that I looked like Ianrauk, just to see how they worked. We'd been discussing the effect, I think back on C+ forum days.
Some chap in a BMW beeped me, for no reason that I could see, so I just wanted to ask him how come he did this, and he ran 3 red lights to get away from me. The last one he went in the right turn lane, ran the red light, and went straight on. I was very amused.
Do you get much of this Ian? I bet in the spring and summer you get hardly any abuse compared to the rest of us. LOLOL!!!

A few years ago I was leaving a local pub with a friend, as we turned left out of the car park I realised that I had not put my lights on so I stopped to put them on. When I set off again I waited for a car to pass from my right, this can then slowed and drove alongside my friend and I could hear some shouting, I quickly caught up and went up the middle of the road, the driver was yelling the usual, 'get off my road'. It was a warm summers evening and the drivers window was down. I tapped on his roof and I have never seen a look of such fear in a persons eyes before or since. He could not get out of there quick enough, unfortunately he was doing about 10mph in 3rd, his attempt to accelerate was quite funny, he never thought to drop a gear, I was able to ask him what was up several times before he managed to pull away. Once he was a good 50 yards in front and accelerating he was brave enough to give us the finger out the window.

I have a few compression tops which are 'mini-camo' patterned, if you don't look that closely it looks like I'm covered in tattoos, 0added to this I was about 180lbs of solid muscle back then. So one day this guy in a cabrio decides I'm in the wrong place (middle of the lane waiting at some traffic lights, my usual stance of arms draped over the tops of my bars as though my aero bars have just gone awol) blaring horn & some lip. I turn round & glare at him & catches a glimpse at one of my arms seemingly tattoo clad & not exactly small... the panic on his face was a picture.
