Two lanes who merge into the highway later on (90 kp/h speed limit). Me on the cyclepath and see two cars parked up ahead. No way to pass them as they take up all the cyclepath and next to the cyclepath, there is a fresh lawn. Not gonna ruin that. I slow down and the first one is making a call but sees me and moves over to one of the lanes, almost hitting a truck. Madman. Second one is texting. I stop, creep over and knock on her window and point to the parking lot 50 (!!!!) meters further down the road. Her text was so important she couldn't move 50 meters up ahead. Also, this is 10 (!!!) meters after a petrol station. It wasn't life threatening but this shit makes my blood boil. I don't even see if I have texts when i'm driving a car, how the fuck do you see one, decide it's that important that you need to block cyclists and can't park legally 50 meters up ahead?
