Had a sketchy one last night - heading up Cranfield Road in Brockley as I turned onto the road a car was sat on the wrong side of the road talking to another driver (not a good start) then pulled off after I'd passed him. As there are cars on either side I was riding in primary out of the door zone, suddenly I feel the wind from his car as he passed within, honestly, 3 inches of my bars - I look over and see the guy (whilst still only inches from me) driving with his knees, head down, texting. The fact he hadn't hit me was a pure fluke as he obviously hadn't even seen I was there! Luckily I caught it on the Fly6, but glare meant you couldn't see him on the phone. Reported to plod, but doubt they'll do anything.
