If she rides motorbikes then she should probably realise that you can't just swerve into another lane without checking your blind spot. Indicator or no.
Not checking blind spots pisses me off, but I notice lots of people don't when I'm a passenger in their car. People seem to think a mirror glance suffices.
It was all going so well until I got right hooked on Walworth Road. Line of slow moving traffic, bus stops ahead and no right indicating cars so I decide to filter on the right. Scottish lady in a Rav4 decides that's the best time to turn right over to a side road, moving and beginning to indicate simultaneously. I hit the rear right quarter of her car, scuffing my bar tape and denting the car with my elbow. Mad skillz keep me upright so I go and have a word with her. "I was indicating. I ride motorbikes. You must have been in my blind spot. You need to be careful." The adrenaline didn't make for too witty a conversation so I left. I'm fine, the bike's fine, everyone else is a cunt.
Exciting Garmin/Strava evidence to follow.
