Pulling away from some lights last night, the left hand lane is left only, right hand is straight on. I'm going straight. Almost clear of the junction and check right shoulder then left to see whats going on. The car behind giving plenty of space. I start to move to the left hand lane when a guy on a scooter comes flying up it, he's obviously decided that he'll go straight on, or he's come out of the traffic. I don't know. I abort my move and he flys past leaning on his horn. He got pant shittingly close. Then he weaves through the traffic into the right hand lane and darts over the road and down a side lane to avoid a red.
