reported a bus driver who as I was overtaking when he was at a bus stop started to pull off and obviously saw I was nearly past but sped up instead of letting me go. I get ahead and there's a zebra crossing ahead and I stop to let the ped cross. bus driver honks his horn, pulls up to me and squirts me with washer fluid before ranting at me in some east european language and shouting "fuck" in my face. told me I shouldn't stop like that.
I obviously pointed out the zebra crossing and that he should have given me space and time.
Thinking about it, I maybe should have just let him win his little race rather than going past him. But he should have just given me time to get by, right?
