Was riding along the South Circular through Dulwich behind a chap with no rear lights on his car. Pulled up next to him at lights, tap on the passenger window and motion for him to lower it. All smiley and happy, like.
He looked over, then quickly looked away and ignored me. His kid, sat in the front seat, stared at me like I was a simpleton.
He then drives off at pace only to get stuck in traffic about 50 metres up the road. This time, I go around to the driver's side, tap on the window and again motion for him to put the window down.
He lowered it about a centimetre and said 'What is your problem?!'.
At this point, I considered just riding off and leaving the rude twat to it, but thought it best to kill him with kindness, so I said, 'your rear lights aren't working - don't know if they're blown or if you've just not got them switched on, but thought I should let you know.' And then I rode off.
CSB etc.
