I could have been calmer, true, but it's not easy after some particularly risky driving like that gets the adrenaline going. At the time I remember feeling quite happy with myself about how restrained I was towards that driver. Remind me, what's one of the most famous LFGSS quotes involving D-locks again?
If you'd like to watch YouTube channels involving particularly aggressive and shouty cyclists, I could link some for you. They are not hard to find. ;)
Looking for a fight? I think not, I'd have been happiest if she'd waited behind, and overtaken me safely like all the other drivers did there. I upload perhaps 1 in 5000 driver interactions, which is heartening and shows just how nice and how well most drivers behave. This bit of driving was perhaps the worst in 100,000 I've encountered.
