Heading merrily down Museum St when I see a van reversing down West Central St about to emerge onto Museum St in front of me. I slow, then see them slowing to a stop, assuming that they will stop and wait for the road they are reversing into to be clear. I head on and they begin to accelerate again, scaring at least 5 shades of shit out of me.
I gave a pretty loud "OI!!" as I went past, probably a bit louder than I intended but, fuck 'em. The driver then leant out of the window screaming something about reversing lights. Apparently having reversing lights gives you free reign to reverse out of a side street into traffic.
