Fucking Westminster!
They've got a lane closed outside the Houses of Parliament at the moment, complete with non-functioning traffic lights.
6am this morning (still very dark, couldn't really see the other lane was closed) I had to swerve and panic stop as the "stop at red light" sign suddenly appeared out of the darkness, swiftly followed by an approaching stream of oncoming traffic. I cursed myself frantically for lack of observation until I noticed there ***was ***no red light.
Then a nodder almost goes into the back of me.
Then I hear a Doppler-effected "whoooaaaa" as a scooter goes flying past, screeching to a halt 3 feet from the front of a car.
Jesus H Christ.
I really hope this didn't cause any accidents today.
