What a glorious commute.
I was entering the Swiss Cottage one way system heading South moving into lane to approach Avenue Road when Cock Boy behind me in some sort of AMG Mercedes momentarily falls under the mistaken belief that this congested 20mph zone is in fact the first corner of an F1 race and he sees the gap. Roaaaaarrrrrrrr he moves into position on the outside lane must be hitting at least 60 within 3 seconds , bear in mind there are cars everywhere. I see an Uber driver right in front of me indicate to pull out. "Oh yes here we go" I think to myself and lo-and-behold- he pulls straight into his lane. Fuck face had nowhere to go, he rams into the curb destroys his wheel, thankfully scrubbing most of his speed so by the time of impact he was probably only going around 20. Bumper is on the floor. Luckily his window was down so before he had a chance to realise he is in fact in London during the rush hour and not in the Bahrain GP, I left him in no uncertain terms what I thought of his actions before going about my way with a huge smile on my face.
