• Heading westbound on Peckham Rd this morning, lady in front on a Charge Plug with gumwalls and another person to my right. A bit tightly grouped but someone ahead (in blue jersey with blue overshoes, very français) is pulling across the road to turn right. Blue Toyota Prius (HJ61 VLZ) refuses to wait behind the turning-right cyclist and veers into the cycle lane, causing the Charge lad, me and several others to slam on the stoppers.

    This never usually happens but it riled me, so I sped off to catch him up as he got caught at the lights opposite Seabass. Knocked on the window, told him he nearly knocked someone off, to which he looked perplexed. A few seconds pass, waiting for an answer. Lady arrives at the lights and calls him a prick, he nods and still looks confused. Nothing happens.

    Anyway, the lights change, he drives off and so do I. Should we have done something different?

  • Probably, which is NO excuse, they genuinely didn't see you all, cos he/she wasn't checking their blindspots/mirrors and that's why they were perplexed.

    You can also report to the police I suppose...then they can confuse the agent too with their confusion :)

    [at least you didn't get blamed for THEIR fault, that only happened to me twice]

  • There was no collision or CCTV which I've heard means it likely won't be touched. But I hadn't thought about his reaction meaning he was clearly unaware, you're quite right. Bloody idiots.
