"You're stopping me from moving forward"

All it takes is to overtake a car going down the hill and they'll do their level best to 're-take their position', oblivious of the fact that I can go round the bumps and they can't so they'll never catch me.

I've literally seen sparks coming off body work as the red mist descends.

I get this A LOT in norwood / dulwich. I'm sure it happens a lot elsewhere too. This kind of pettyness seems unique to car drivers though, large vehicles I find are generally just thoughtless.

Good point from Dancing James on the difficulty of educating a group who feel angry and threatened. Ed's response to my post about the undertaker ad was quite a good example of this.
