upper richmond road seems to be the playground of some of the worst drivers.
Some of the most entitled for sure. That and the New King's Road through Parson's Green.
The URR drivers are all still fucked off with the fact that the Hammersmith Bridge closure has made their usual drives about 10 times worse. Whilst lots of people have adapted and changed their plans or modes of transport there are the core many that are simply wedded to their cars, so they're utterly fucked.

Can't wait for ULEZ to expand next year and hopefully make an actual concrete reason for a lot of these people to leave behind their cars and find other routes than URR

It's also these people who are generally the worst, so the traffic is now more concentrated with cunts.

From the roundabout on the Lower Richmond Road up to the junction for the embankment is horrendous at the moment. The temp traffic lights through the bottom of new kings road are probably not helping but Hammersmith bridge being closed has a huge knock on effect. Really caught me out a few times recently.
In other news a Domino's Pizza moped very nearly took me out on Priory lane last night after he rode up along side me then tried to turn into Clarence lane without looking or indicating.

Terrible ride in today..
Cabbie driving down a closed road outside Kingston gate not liking my look of dissapointment and giving me the usual 'you're telling ME what to do, bloody cyclists shtick'
Old c*nt in a jaguar getting angry that i didn't stop to let him turn left even though i was in the bike lane and level with his bonnet when he's started indicating. Incessant rage fuelled horn honking from behind me as i continued
Divvy van driver more interested in his breakfast baguette than the road, letting his van dribble out onto the bike lane as I'm approaching . No idea on earth that he's blocking a bike lane and that just because the cars on the road are sat still doesn't mean he gets to just pull out.
PLUS the usual old rich white woman alone in one of those massive range rovers slams her brakes on so she can turn left without indicating caused me to slam right into her.
Everything fine and at least the weather was nice but JESUS upper richmond road seems to be the playground of some of the worst drivers. You'd think that if you're driving in london at rush hour you'd at least be mildly aware of the possibility of cyclists using the cycle lane, you know, since there are so many of us.
And breathe...
