• Approaching E&C from the south this morning holding primary in the middle lane because, y'know, fuck squeezing up the right hand side of the buses.

    Grey Volvo(?) driver behind me decides that even though the traffic is at a crawl I'm somehow inconveniencing him by being in the middle of the road. As soon as he thinks he sees space he gives it a few revs and a honk and squeezes past me on my left (using a bit of the bus lane in the process). Unbalanced, I only just manage to clip out in time. Cunt.

    Looked back to see the driver who was now behind me gesticulating in a sort of "well you deserve it you were in the middle of the road" sort of a way. Ignorant cunt.

    5/10 Didn't get killed, rest of the journey was actually pretty good.

  • Just had exactly the same. Two traffic lights on a downhill stretch, I know the sequence so hold the lane riding up to the second red and an estate taxi comes up my offside and starts to barge in, my peripheral vision can see his bonnet, the light is still red, he has nowhere to go, I slow for the red and he's stranded blocking both lanes. So pointless and angry and unnecessary.

  • It's a story as old as time, drivers desperate to get past you despite the queue of traffic and/or redlight ahead. You always get a deep sense of satisfaction when either they get stuck somewhere silly on the road, or as you sail past them again filtering through t0 the ASZ.
