Saw some atrocious driving on my commute in this morning. About 10 metres from some (red) traffic lights, there's a scaffolding lorry parked in the right lane (so cars approaching have to come into oncoming lane to go around it). There are cars parked on the left hand side. I'm in the centre of the lane (for primary reasons and also because I was overtaking another cyclist). Someone in a porsche flies up behind me, goes around me and only just manages to cut back in before slamming into an Addison Lee taxi that was coming round the lorry. Only just missed me when he cut back in. Got stuck at the lights literally 2 seconds later. I shouted very loudly at him through the whole procedure but he gave zero reaction. While I was waiting at the lights, the cyclist I was overtaking during aforesaid debacle informed me that he'd spotted Porsche guy was texting throughout his suicidal manouevre. I mean, come on. I very rarely see anything i'd consider reportable, but I wish i'd bothered to stick my GoPro on this morning.
