Was day of the muppets yesterday

First off, some woman driver passes me with literally mm's to spare. Caught her 10 seconds later at a red light and gestured to give me more room. To be fair she did when she overtook me again.

Secondly, coming up to a set of lights just turning red. I am in primary behind some estate car. He goes slightly over the white line and stops on red, I stop about a yard behind and reach for my water bottle only to see this idiot reversing right in to me. I scream and shout for him to stop and he does so just before he hits my front wheel. Both incidents scared the hell out of me. I had nowhere to go as there was a car behind me as well. When he did stop I point vigourously to his mirrors. What is it with some drivers?

PS Its not like I wasn't visible either as I have a very powerful head light, a bright helmet and a powerful 5 LED rear.

Ooh, that second one is particularly horrible to my perception. I'm always a little sceptical nowadays, and try to leave more room and at least one escape route. Someone on yacf had a bad one like this, and I've experienced it too. AirZound FTW.

I have a mini roundabout that i have to turn right at and i am clearly signalling and on the right sideof the road yet every day someone tries to dash across as i am in the middle of the Rab , they look like a startled bunny in the headlight when i airzound the c**k !. i think its embarrassment that they have had attention bought to them of how thick they are
