Justice this morning. Cab doesn't indicate, just turns left so I ride around its arse end and this bitch slows and has a go at me for being in the middle of the road (I was probably not even in the middle of my lane let alone the two lane fucking road). I say learn the highway code and then she's yelling this and that and how I don't pay for the roads, which is a little ironic given I bought a second car literally hours ago.
Silly anal flosser then drives into my lane still crapping on about not paying for it. She's getting frisky now and aims her car at me and I'm now unclipped ready to kick her fucking car. I ride into safe gap in front of another car and everyone's now stopped in traffic. Turn around to look at her, a car back and see cop van in the right lane, level with her.
"Did you fucking see that bitch?! She just tried to drive into me?!" (I'm a bit angry normally so if I've just been defending myself against a car you can imagine my look). She says some shit about "middle of the road" to the copper and he's like "what's wrong with that" to her. I rant a bit more and the copper in the back then goes "I saw it" and gets out in the traffic to go and have words. Cop driver is nice and calm and suggests I don't delay my journey further while they deal with her (leaving my cleats and unfortunately her door intact). 30+ years of riding and finally a copper is in the right place at the right time. Lovely. Once the rage subsided I was proper punching the air. Fucking love a bit of justice. Got her plates on my shit list. It's so long now though I need my own NPR...
