Cycling home along Kirkstall Road yesterday. It's always completely chocker & cars are backed up all the way up the road, & with the bus/bike lane as it is, anyone wanting to turn left has to wait until the end of the road. Obviously, this leads to drivers pulling out as soon as they possibly can, even when traffic isn't moving because of the lights.
Van driver yesterday pulls to turn left almost right into me (thankfully I managed to swerve) as I'm riding back hugging the right of the bus/bike lane to get to the ASL to continue straight. Manage to get the attention of the driver at the line & he gives me the dumbest look & insists that he checked his mirrors multiple times. Fat chance. I hope the person in the passenger's seat tells me how close he came to knocking me off, obviously not having looked at all. Frustrating!
