Well honestly, this is too much

[benb]

It's bad enough when drivers overtake too close, but for some reason it particularly riles when it's a vehicle from the organisation you work for!!
Very close overtake, then pulled in on me causing me to brake hard and swerve into the kerb. Very dangerous
I have complained to the transport dept.

Oh, and the final digit of the numberplate is unreadable - is it a N or a W?

Also, watch out for the surprise ending.

One of those ambulance/minibus things nearly wiped me out a couple of weeks ago - passed me too close on a bend and then cut in forcing me to brake/swerve to avoid being sideswiped.
As I slammed on my brakes I was face to face with someone sat in the back - looking terrified cos they thought they were about to witness a cyclist getting squashed.
I emailed the manchester ambulance people asking them to remind drivers to try not to run over cyclists but didn't hear anything back.

At least you have a bit of power over that driver should you want them to learn from their driving mistake...

Looks like a W at the end of the plate

What did the biker say?

Imagine the mess if he had been SMIDSY'd when doing a wheelie!

He was giving a car behind me an earful, as they had got too close.
Arguments ensued, and he wheelied past me.

There are several. I use this one, which gives:

Holy crap, I am just as concerned with the biff on the bike. Great wheelie action but very silly

Yeah, we was a bit of a tool.
He was peed off with a car begind - I didn't see what happened but he was giving the driver an earful. Not sure what the wheelie was supposed to prove, but it looked good on the video!

Well, as a user I don't really care about their business, but in any case there is no charge for the service. If they get a bit of click revenue, then that's fine by me.
