Saw the worst of road users today.
Saw a motorbike rider decide to force his way through the ASL while lights on red and then physically attempt to push cyclists waiting to turn right out of his way while shouting "get out of my way, cunts" when lights changed to green. He then sped away so quickly that he narrowly avoided riding straight into the back of a bus.
Shortly afterwards I had a cyclist crash into the back of me when I slowed down to wait for the bus that was already moving to pull out ahead of me. No big deal really. When the cyclist went down his bars glanced the bumper of a stationary car to his right, leaving a small black bar tape mark. Cue the driver getting out of his car and yelling abuse at him with all the usual "you're all the same...road tax...etc etc...what about my fucking car". Told him that his car was fine, it'd buff out and the best thing he could do is get back in his car and tell his (prob 6 year old) daughter who was looking on with a frightened face that somebody had an accident but its ok because nobody was hurt before going about his day. He did not like that at all.
Still beats train/10
