yeah, that's one i've been pulled as well, but the driver missed me by a few inches.
i dont know where Tea_bee lives, but apart from the crossing on the way to deptford, i also have to look out at this point as the road gets narrower (end of bus lane/bus stop) and there's the station right after to it, so you never know if drivers are simply coming to the outer lane or if they will drop into the station. i was nearly snapped there, luckly it was all jammed and the car didnt manage to pull out of the line in time to hit me.
LOL I live at the top of the hill to the right of that picture, so I've usually either gone up through the park, or turned right into the side street just back up the road a bit, because sitting for 30 seconds in the middle of the road there waiting to turn right up Maze Hill isn't my idea of fun. But even then, I'm on the right of the road, so I won't be getting cut across by cars. The only time I'm not is if I plan to stop into the posh wine shop on the left just after the garage. Which is pretty rarely.
I'd never thought how dodgy that spot could be for cyclists heading straight on. Thanks for the warning.
