Motherfucking 4x4s

To be fair I only do this if they pulled out into me - i.e. I was already occupying the bit of road that they decided to put their bus in. If they do it when they are ahead of me then that's perfectly fine.
It started out as me just having to speed up to stay safe, and then being too knackered to keep it up - it's developed into a habit. I am very naughty. I figure if they see that they nearly ran a cyclist off the road they are more likely to check properly next time, whereas if I brake and go behind then they'll never know their error.

@ McCarthy, I get the impression that everyone who pulls out of me then goes ridiculously slowly :-)
If I can do a decent speed why can't they? Admittedly when I'm on a bike with an engine I feel this way a bit more often than on the pedals, but it's pretty common on the pedal bike too!

No I definitely agree with you that there are cases on an open road where I overtake cars, and i'm not going stupidly fast, some people are just less confident on the road (particularly understandable in London) but if someone roared past you only to slow down just to annoy you, you wouldn't be too happy i'm sure =P
