I had a small man in a big van pull in front of me and stop because I banged on his van as he overtook me through a pinch point leaving about 3 inches between my bars and his box.
Saw him through the mirror opening his door and hopping out. This is always an intimidation manoeuvre so I got off, propped my bike against a wall and waited for him to come round his van. I’m 6”2 when not in heels and he quickly realised his mistake, got back in his van and muttered I was an arsehole. I didn’t raise my voice, just told him it was a 20 zone and that I was doing just over 20 so he had no need to overtake.
He passed me further down the road leaving frankly an unnecessarily large gap between us. I don’t know what this means. He realised he was wrong?
Anyway, I’m done letting motorists intimidate me
