It's always fucking mercedes, I had one yesterday in mile end, eye contact me and then do a 'U'ey with me maybe 10ft from his car in the wet, I lock I go down on my shoulder and head and knee..
What the fuck do they expect you to do? levitate? where the fuck or how the fuck are you supposed to stop? I have a road contact 'strip' (ie the amount of available rubber I am stopping/rolling on)on 23mm tyres...of maybe 20mm by 70mm...compare that to a mercedes wheel.
once I had stopped punching his side window and howling 'USE YOUR FUCKING EYES' at him like a banshee..he drove 20 yrds up the street and then verbally abused me...
no I didn't get his number as I was rather shaken, hurt, wet and upset, mercedes 220e, navy blue, burdett road, asian driver in his late 40's.
