Whilst training a group of schoolchildren we watched a lady ride completely to the contrary of good cycling practice and it caused a driver to pull out on her from a side road. The kids had been commenting to me about how badly she was riding. She looked angrily at the driver but when one of the children suggested she needed cycle training we got the usual "oh but I have been riding all my life and it's just that the drivers are so bad." she had performed the full hat trick of fuck ups whilst approaching the side road on her left hand side - she had looked over her left shoulder, slowed to a crawl and dipped in. A clear case of unconscious incompetence and utter self denial when the kids explained how she could have done it any better.
