What a complete cunt.
It's so disheartening to know that in these sort of situations where people act in an incredibly threatening way towards others, the police will generally do fuck all. Unless someone actually gets hurt. In which case it's obviously too late...
I've only been cycling for a couple months now (regularly on the road I mean, BMX for years before that) and already I'm getting sick of the behaviour of quite a proportion of drivers.
Got shaken up the other evening because an open back truck (dunno what they are called, the kind you get scaffolding on etc) couldn't wait the 5 or so seconds for me to get through the width restriction in the road, so he zoomed past me and the rear end came within about 3 inches of taking me right out. What are these people thinking?
