Rolling along nicely down Vanbrugh Park Road at safe distance away from the parked cars on each side of the road I am aware of a car close up behind me. At the pinchpoint of a speed hump and traffic calming narrowing of the road this driver decides to repeatedly honk the horn. As he passes I note the make of the car and say loudly "OH HELLO - ITS A BMW!
Cos it is.
The car windows are open.
BMW driver and his female passenger stop abruptly ahead of me.
At this point my front brake cable snaps* and I gracefully stop by the side of the road.
They don't know this*.
I was prepared and expecting to 'have words' but they drove away.
Two completely unconnected events happening at the same time.
True story.
