Quick ride into town to pick up a present for a party later. Ridng down the street I signal and move out round an illegally parked car. There is a gap of about 30m between it and and another illegally parked car. So I stay just to the left of the white line. As I pass the car and I am subjected to a barrage of revving and tooting from some irate perma-tanned old dear (40's) as she tries to pass me. I stop and ask her WTF she is playing at. At this point the driver of a Lorry who was waiting at a nearby junction hops out of the cab and joins the fun.
He clearly explains that if he had seen me from a side road then he couldn't quite understand how she hadn't, whilst driving behind me. He continued by adding that cars are considerably larger than bikes and that she should be a tad more considerate to more vulnerable road users, her reply "fuck off". His response "fine I'll get in the truck and drive over you just so you know how it feels, your husband will probably thank me as your surgeon is clearly shit"
I said my goodbyes and continued on about my business.
I purchased a my little pony.
