The daily Close Call

taken from another forum

So i'm at the lights in shoreditch about to go left on top kingsland road there on red, handbrake on in netral low traffic two cars ahead two behind... minding me own business when a cyclist bunnyhops off the kerb and crashes into the side of the car wacking the mirror and falling over the bonnet...

so obviuosly i stick on the harazrds leap out and say you ok and wtf...

to which i get a tirade of stupdity I'm goning to call the cops you're driving dangerously

by being stopped at red lights?

then he starts to get lary and aggressive, and more and more irate about the accident which he's just caused and how it's my dfault and i wasn't paying attention again i'm pointing out that i was stationary and the twat still goes on and on...

in the end i lost it and siad if you don't fuck off now i'm going to get the jack handle from the back of the car...

i mean WTF seriously, if you're out there crashing into others makes it your fault if i was a cyclist and you were a car then that kind of action would have killed me, tbh as i was turning left if you'd done that on green the resulting crash might have put you under my wheels and it'd have been another dead cyclist...

ffs...

rah!!

really pissed off now tho, anyone that saw it would either think fucking dangerous cyclists or if they hadn't witnessed the hit then would have tought i had actually hit him not that the car of course goes sideways at the passenger door but hey....

why is it that there are sooo many wankers on the road on or in both transport types?

ffs take some responsiblity for the fact you are using something which can and does cause injury to you and others around you if you use it improperly...

still in terms of damage the doors scuffed up and the mirrors a wreak but his front wheel looked fucked and buckled....

still no doubt he'll be recount his terrible dice with the looney car driver...
