That junction is a mess. I was in the back of a cab that almost ran over a cyclist crossing with priority on Meadow road. So many people assume Fentiman has priority there and fail to give way or look.

Yeah, I had a close call there about five years ago when a car pulled out. This scooter was ripping up the outside of the cars at high speed, so if I’d been five seconds faster he’d have ploughed into me.
I think the worst bit was knowing he was coming back, but not knowing what to expect - my stopping would have meant a fight? Who knows.
If I’d coated him off, I might have expected a nasty reaction but i barely said a thing and had already passed on when I glimpsed him turning around. I slowed down a bit and headed towards the kerb to anticipate it.

Got assaulted by a scooter on the way home - hit and run. He tore across me at the junction of Fentiman Road and ? (meadow road?), passing on the outside of cars, I exclaimed “what the hell you doing??” (Didn’t swear for once, surprisingly) in surprise as he tore a half metre across my path. Looked to me left where he went and saw him stop up the road, then he turned around came back looking for me and whipped past at 30 mph hollered something and shoved me off. Pretty mashed up.
