had some absolute fucknut drive right down the middle of the two lanes here (right hand lane was full of queuing traffic) to squeeze past me doing at least 20mph when I was in primary position in the left hand lane and slowing my speed because the lights ahead were red and traffic had already stacked a few car lengths up ahead of me.
the second he gets past my front wheel he cuts me up and immediately has to slam on the brakes as we've now both caught up with the traffic in front and he nearly goes into the back of the car in front of him.
he's turning left at the lights but another cyclist in front of him who's going straight ahead obviously isn't going fast enough when the lights change so he gets a blast of his horn and a rev of the engine as he tries to push past him the second there's a glimmer of space.
so two lots of aggressive, dangerous driving over the space of 30 yards of road all to save himself one car length in a queue for some traffic lights and 2 seconds turning off at a junction.
I may have made a hand gesture as I rode past the back of his car as he turned off indicating that he was an avid self indulger but as the traffic was moving nicely by then the only response I could make out was a muffled shout as I rode off into the distance.
