Ridiculously short section of getting home is always rather fraught - spinning off the catford gyratory onto the south circular, trying to turn right into any one of several side roads. Usually it's ok, but tonight had the wonderful combo of drive-by shouting by a youth hanging out the rear side window (no idea what was said), no helpful gaps in traffic flow (indeed all vehicles seeming to accelerate with intent away from the second set of lights) and what I assume was a glass bottle being driven over resulting in a loud BANG and smashing glass going everywhere. Made me jump something dreadful that did...
I should really stay on the gyratory to the next exit, i think overall it's probably less alarming.
