At the set of lights in front of the Marquis of Granby pub in New Cross - heading towards lewisham.
I’m approaching and the lights are red, I pulled into the ride hand lane at the speed of moving traffic- no inconvenience to the car behind me (if I was a ped, motorbike or car there wouldn’t have been an issue). If you don’t move into the right hand lane it means you have to cross two lanes..
Guy in the merc behind me pulls into the left hand lane and starts to ask why I did that blah blah, eventually ends up saying he’d slap me.
I didn’t really say much back but I couldn’t help but laugh.
So sad that man doesn’t understand the rules of the road and that just because I’m on a bike it means I can’t hold a place in the road even if I’m riding at the speed of traffic.
Sad.
