Enjoyed my first CM - Bit slow at times but what can you expect.
The two incidents that stand out to me both involved lorries (and considering the route and reason for the stops it only further highlights the issue on London’s famous roads)
The first tried to speed up the wrong side of the street trying to get past us, but made it all of 50m – nearly taken out me and a load others – its scary how someone can drive like that without any consideration of peoples lives. He can’t even use the excuse that he didn’t see us!
The second was near Bricklane which nearly ended in a fight with a thuggish looking lorry driver and his moronric passenger trying to take on the mass (hopefully someone has that on video)
I was the one on the Langster with the LED wheel lights btw, for those that asked they came from here:
