Had to have a go at a transit driver who was at the lights at the top of Drury lane. I heard him say "Someone's going to get crushed." then try to "scare" a cyclist who had pulled up in front of him, on the right. The driver pulled around the cyclist then held a line so that the cyclist had nowhere to go when they got to a van parked on the right ahead. Slammed on his brakes and then shouted at the cyclist, causing a jam of bikes who had been waiting behind.
I called him out on driving like a cunt when I got past him, but got back the usual "highway code" bullshit and to mind my own business.
He definitely did it on purpose and was not happy about being called out. I wish I didn't let adrenaline get the better of me and remembered to get plate/company details, but this was so close to a murder that I had to do something.
