Had a similar experience end of last year. Pedestrian crossing 4 lanes of traffic 3 of them stopped and walking across we could see the car coming with no intention to stop. when he blasted through i looked at him with the old ¯_(ツ)_/¯ look which caused him to stop unfold himself out of his Peugeot and start having a go at us for being in his neighborhood (my gf has lived in hackney for about 20 years) and trying to start trouble and the race card came up even though I would have done the same thing to any cunt that nearly ran me over. These are also the same people that say they have a hard life because of their skin colour and don't accept that its their actions in life that are the problem.
tl;dr People are cunts and karma will get them in the end. It wont be their fault of course..

Not really a commute story but I'll share anyway.
Earlier today I had terrifying encounter with a mad man when I was walking to the bus with my parents, we were going across a pedestrian crossing on a green man and this brand new mercedes plows though junction against the light, as he went past I saw he'd been using his mobiles (one in each hand).
After I cross the road and were walking towards the bus stops there's a huge guy staring at me on the pavement. I just ignored him and walked past to the bus stop. He turned after me getting in my face and starts screaming at us about why we were in the road in his way. I tried explained about the green man, not surprisingly he wasn't having it.
He was shaking with anger, screaming all kinds of things at us; shouting racist stuff in my mum's face and spat at my dad. He gave up when none of us said anything to him or would rise to his bait. My poor mum was so shaken. Walked off shouting that we were "privileged white cowards", all the while looking over his shoulder to see if we were looking at him (presumably to come back and start again). Seemed determined to wind us up by calling us cowards and by bringing race into it, as if that had anything to do with crossing the road. In the end went back to his car and started shouting at other drivers instead.
Sadly I didn't get his number plate.
