Got into an altercation just before I left London. Was riding west way towards Paddington area i think it was. There were roadworks in the left lane, so it pinched into one lane. I was late for meeting someone which meant I wasn't riding slowly.
Indicated, moved safely into primary. Minicab came screaming up behind me and proceeded to sit about a foot or two from my rear wheel (terrifying at 30mph) pulled left after the pinch point and after me flailing my hands in the air like a football player, he swerved at me, trying to intimidate me. Unfortunately my short fuse ran out and I punched the rear panel of the car... Cracked knuckle again and put a huuuuge dent in the vehicle. He then drove me off the road into the pavement. Thus resulting in me further losing my shit and us engaging in a physical confrontation. He backed off and called the police when he realised just how completely fuckerered off I was. Still no word from him or the police to pay for the damages.
