I need to change my commute; I can't stand the stress of witnessing the suicidal riding heading north into the bus lane at bottom of Russell Square.
Every other day someone rides up there hugging the curb and then just keeps going straight into the bus lane as the traffic flow goes left around the square. Today Spanish girl on a hybrid with Ipod on oblivious as a van has to do an emergency stop to stop from rolling over her. I was to the rear and right of the lorry in middle of the road and absolutely shit myself.
Tried to have a word with her about turning right across traffic there but she just said "I was going straight, what's the problem?" and I realised she fundamentally didn't recognise how the road layout worked.
