Very strange deliberate close overtake this morning. I was about 10 metres behind a queue of cars at a red light, the junction where Hackney Road crosses Kingsland Road to meet Old Street. Bloke in the car behind me is revving hard for a few seconds then I see his bonnet coming across my front wheel from the right, I swerve to evade, he's barely past me before he stops at the back of the queue.
I point at the red light and say "what was that for" and he's absolutely purple, fuming and making gestures like he wants to hit me. His passenger is just staring straight ahead of her, perhaps this isn't her first time.
Shake my head and carry on. Was calmed down by the nice chap behind me. Just baffling.
