Heading east on Bayswater Rd this morning. In inside lane, nothing ahead of me, doing about 18mph. Cars in outside lane doing maybe 15mph. I notice mini-van in outside lane ahead of me is slowing down a bit. Junction coming up on left, alarm bells start ringing... sure enough I get to the junction to see a Merc is moving across to turn into the side road. I brake and swerve, a passing tourist lets out a "whoa-oooohh!" and I have just enough time to do a Roger Moore style eyebrow-raise to the Merc driver. Strangely quite satisfying .
