Yes - on Kingsland Road South approaching the lights at the junction with Old Street I'm in the bus lane. Lorry jinks left into the bus lane crossing the single hard white line and clouts my head with his wing mirror. That's how quickly it happened. His excuse for not seeing me (btw I wear an Exposure Diablo helmet mounted on flash) was 'One of your blokes hit my wing mirrors and I was pulling over to adjust them back again'. Priceless. Got his number - and pics - and phoned his employers. No damage done but I was shaken up. He was sorry and not rude but what a sh*t manoeuvre.
