Filtering at speed as I was late for the train, going to the right of a lorry which unknowst to me was letting a car out of a side road to turn right, so poured on the brakes and just managed to avoid ploughing into the side of it. Sort of my fault but the lorry obscured the side road so I had no idea the car was there.
Also had a go at a Papa John's moped rider last, which under took me just ahead of some red lights. I was in primary as the road curves around to the right ninety degrees (two lane, one way) and I was overtaking a cyclist who was turning left. Suddenly there a moped zooming up on my inside despite the fact the red light is ten yards away. At the red lighgI asked him if he thought it was a good idea, given the light was red, and he in turn stoically stared straight ahead until the light turned green when he turned around and said something muffled, probably something rude.
