Has nobody else noticed that pedestrians are the most ignorant and arrogant road users in London?
Too many cyclists seem to think it's their right to ride like twats and rely on the reactions of motor vehicle drivers to preserve them, too
Bendy drivers have probably had 'cycle aware' drummed into them after the early days when they used to kill every cyclist they met, but most of them drive like complete cnuts as far as other traffic is concerned. If you see a queue, there's nearly always a bendy blocking the junction at the front of it
Black cabs are usually OK, except when they're plying for hire, when all bets are off. A quick U-turn across 4 lanes of traffic with no observation or signal can be triggered by an innocent bystander waving to a friend across the street
Knowledge boys on mopeds are a bloody liability
The only people who do dumb stuff in front of me so rarely that I can't even remember the last time it happened are motorbike couriers.
