Today cycling along in a cycle lane (all my near disasters are in cycle lanes) and a car suddenly swerves in front of me. Cue rapid braking etc and me bashing on the rear window. The car stops and when pull up to have a word it turns out the driver was too busy lighting a cigarette to worry about steering in a straight line. Full force of my verbal vitriol duly unleashed. The old dear driving the car looked terrified, so hopefully compensation for the moment on fear she gave me.
