London Bridge northbound intersection at Monument...
Lady on a city bike pootling along, was riding along the bus slip lane thing on the left hand side. Van had his indicator on for a very long time in the middle lane to the right of the bus lane and was carefully and slowly moving across to turn left. She went along in this bus lane, and then started pulling to the right with her hand out, completely ignoring the van driver, as she wanted to turn right from the left hand turning lane.
She then had the audacity to make some sort of gesture at the driver, as if he was in the wrong!
Now I haven't been in this country for long, but surely you give way to the front, rather than cutting on the inside of a turning vehicle clearly indicating and then proceeding to turn right? I yelled something at her but whatever. Fell on deaf ears.
I watched all this happen in front of me (I was giving way to the van), and wanted to facepalm myself, but couldn't because I was in the middle of a half assed trackstand in between cars.
People this morning. Van driver, if you're reading this, I was hating on that bicycle numpty too (she cut me off earlier on the bridge too without looking).
