I had a pleasant oh shit moment on sunday, I have never had anything like this happen to be before.... A black cab driver on bishopsgate decided that whilst approaching a red light he just had to overtake me and force me towards stationary traffic on my left, so I tried to hold my road position and he forced his way past, brushing my bag with his wing mirror and catching my rotating cranks with his hubcap causing my back end to skip about on the road, I did the whole hands in the air what the hell are you doing gesture, and got a wanker signal back. So being absolutely furious that this guy had nearly taken me out for no apparent reason other than the fact he was just a prick, I slowed down, got my keys out my pocket, and dragged them all the way down the left side of his vehicle, followed by the one fingered salute as I went on my merry way :)
