I witnessed a weird altercation yesterday.
I was on Grosvenor Road waiting to turn left onto Chelsea Bridge. I stayed behind a 4x4 that was indicating left at the light. A couple of cyclists went on the inside of the car - there were other cyclists ahead - and when the light changed I am not sure what happened but the car hooted and one cyclist gave the driver a bad look and probably said something to the driver. The driver then swerved into the cyclist and instead of turning onto Chelsea Bridge went on straight on to pursue the cyclist or have a word. etc. I made a note of the number plate but forgot by the time I got home.
I don't get why cyclists go on the inside of a vehicle that has clearly indicated. It creates chaos at the lights and shows a complete lack of common sense. I can't see any fun in being close to the curb having a moving car/van/lorry brush against me.
