On the way to work this morning and get over taken around Pimlico by a 4x4 who are bit close but nothing too bad. They stop at lights and I pull up to the passenger window and it looks like a father son team on the way to their investment bank their grandfather set up.
I catch the sons eye and make the "Excuse me could you wind your window down please" lip and hand movements. He ignores me. Repeated another couple of times and he was clearly not winding his window down but I was being fairly polite and insistent.
Son - "What do you want?" he finally said back through the window
Me - "Your offside break light is out, just wanted to let you know"
Son "Oh, erm ... thanks"
Some people are so cynical and presume all cyclists want a go. They'd probably met with DJ somewhere along their route in the past.
I should have told them to "fuck off and eat some canapes"*
*see "reporting dangerous drivers" for full story on that one
