Out for a nice ride a couple of days ago, rattling down a hill through a local village and Mr Jag XK is way too important to have to wait at a junction for a mere bicycle to ride past and decides to pull out, slowly and blocking the whole road so not even a chance to nip a crafty (but legal) overtake in.
I saw it coming so was already on the brakes, but it was still a fair job to not go straight into the side of him (sexist assumption as I couldn't see the driver).
Reg K1CWT, so distinctive I even remembered it, which in itself is remarkable, however, I was also trying out my new SJ4000 (Go Pro ripoff) camera.
So, reported to the nice people at Avon and Somerset with video clip to back it up.
I'm still not convinced he actually saw me at all, and I followed him for a quarter of a mile after the junction, with my nice Moon front light flashing away like a good'un.
