Had a near miss last night. Approaching a mini roundabout with my right arm out straight. Three cars coming towards me and I thought the first one might sneak ahead of me. He did, so did the second and the third went for it too forcing me to swerve and brake hard. I shouted tosser at him........a little way down the road he sweeps in front of me stopping and blocking my path for a fight? row? other contretemps? None of those but to tell me off about my use of bad languague.
I am totally calm, I don't usually bother saying anything in such circumstances ( for this reason). He asks me to repeat what I called him and I oblige adding: 'you could have killed me back there.' He says: 'There's no need for bad language.'Adding: 'well if I had killed you you wouldn't have been able to swear at me.' I suggested next time he would have to kill me then and then rode on.
Apparently killing people is fine but swearing is just beyond the pale.
As I left he said: ' there's no need for bad language ( again),' to which I replied: ' there's no need for bad driving.' He, pulled out, and drove past me, all with his left hand indicator on, then promptly did a U turn at the next mini roundabout still with his left hand indicator on forcing the car coming across from the other side to slam his brakes on.
I'm sure if he could have heard what that driver said it would have been worse than my shameful language. What a tosser.
