The prison vans are the most consistently dangerous drivers I encounter around Brixton and on the way into central. Every time I see them when I'm on my commute I tray and steer well clear as they seem to have a habit of deliberately cutting up cyclist in the bus lane. There have been a coupld of times when I've narrowly avoided being hit by them and they're the only vehichle which I have come close to beating with my lock. I don't think they do it for prisoner security, but just because they're twats - if it was security they'd have some 5-0 with them. Be really careful of them

I completely agree with that, I've had a fair few tussles with them myself on the way in and out of Brixton...
