I was out on my road bike last week on the Gower and a woman was coming the other way down a really narrow lane towards me, though there was plenty of room she still decided to swerve into the roadside to 'avoid' me. The car smashed all over the road and I stopped to see if she was ok for my trouble I recieved an earfull of verbal and a 'citizens arrest' for dangerous driving. She started screaming and telling the gathering crowd that I had forced her off the road (absurd given that I weigh 170lbs on a carbon roadbike and she was in vauxhall zafira). Luckily the police arrived before the crowd of locals could tie me to the stake and light the fuse.
Needless to say the policeman told the woman she was a knob and I was allowed on my way.
