A couple days ago I had a few of those on a road I regularly ride. One guy in his big car with window down decided to shout at me "what are you doing!?" etc, and lots of swearing, with his car inches from me. The next few cars behind, witnesses, passed with care and then all of a sudden a second similarly large bellend vehicle did the same thing.
The irony was that I'd been shoulder checking loads, and was acknowledging the cars that had been patient on the bends before overtaking me when he kicked off.

Wish I could report this prick. Cheltenham is in the grip of race week, and so race traffic. I was approaching from the left a Y-shaped junction with a mini-roundabout, giving way to the right. Nothing there immediately so I merge from the left onto a clear road. I look right as I pass the roundabout and there is a 4x4 coming. I think nothing of it, I'm on the junction the road is clear and then get passed closer and faster than I have ever been, I mean ever. He did the same to a cyclist 30 yards ahead, and although it's a narrow road there was nothing approaching so clearly purposely done. Gone so fast no chance to catch the reg or even the make/model beyond the colour.
Wish I had a go-pro, it reminded of a close pass on an A-road I saw by a flatbed where the driver lost his job. I mean he gave me inches. I was shaking with adrenaline and fury after. He would have been in trouble if I had the means to catch up to him.
Reckon he's been stuck in race traffic for ages and just floored it when he had the chance. Possibly drunk as well, the way he was driving. Fucking horrible.
