^Job done!
I had words with a lorry driver on Monday. He overtook me with zero space when I was on the superhighway (next to it there were 2 other lanes). When I told him that he almost touched me when he overtook and that it was terrifying to be put in a situation like that, he got pretty defensive and said that he drove by the white line and didn't get over it!!! He also said that he had a car to his right so had to be closer to my lane to avoid it....
I think he got my point though, I could tell he knew he had made a mistake and what I was going to tell him. He had all his answers ready. But I was lost for words when he told me that he didn't go over the line and that he put me in danger to squeeze past a car. Hopefully he will take more care around cyclists. Denting a car is always preferable to running over someone, IMO.
