Had my own experience today...
There I am, happily tootling along down Peckham Hill Street, riding with traffic and not trying to overtake anything. In front of me is a navy Honda with a tribal dragon motif on the bonnet (which I discover later on) and it's going sooooo sloooow. I stay behind it anyway, in the centre of the lane where only Stevie Wonder wouldn't see me in the rear view mirror. We come up to a zebra crossing. I wait for the peds to finish crossing then pass the car on the left... BOOM! The guy kicks his door open on me ON PURPOSE and stays in the car. I hit the deck into a street sign and proceed to dust myself off and give the c&%t shit. The geezer was some drug dealer looking type with a gold tooth and whilst I was kicking off he asked whether I 'didn't see the door?' Just as I'm about to turn his cockmobile into a convertible the fuzz turn up, who saw the whole thing. PC asks me if I'm ok, that he saw it all and does he penalise these guys? Nope. Just an on your way. Lucky f&%k.
There, I feel better now, even though I have two golf balls on my arm.
