This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Just had a minor incident which arose much white liberal guilt.

Aggressively driven at and honked at my black BMW 4x4. Gave it dirty look. Car pulls up next to me with 3 black youths barking "WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!" at me. I stare at them and wonder whether said youths are complete poseurs, in which case call them out and have a pop OR keep mouth shut in case they are dangerous. By the time I've thought it through they speed off through the lights, on the wrong side of the road.

Not sure if massive racist or sensible cyclist or a bit of both.

Does race come into it? If they were white would I have reacted the same way? I'd probably be more inclined to think they were posing if they were white.

Didn't get the registration no. in any case.

I called out three black gentlemen in a hatchback on Ballspond Road a while back..........I remember it so vividly, I was wearing road shoes, they were wearing black, the driver overtook me and then took a hard left in to a small cul de sack, I was not best pleased so started to point out the dangers of such manouvers......anyway they got out started to push me about, fuck all you can do in cleats, so I was fortunate enough that a ped stepped in and helped me out, could of turned nasty though.

Although nothing serious happened I have since curtailed my attitude as coming to blows over a misuse of the road isn't really worth it. Plus, maybe there won't be a ped to help next time nor may there be any cameras, or maybe the registration isn't registered to the driver, who knows with some dodgy fuckers.......

Tell'em to fuck off and spin on with it imo.
