One on the way home today:
I was overtaking a few parked cars, I just got past them and carried on cycling in the crown of the road and indicated right (as I was about to turn into my drive in about ten yards), did a shoulder-check because there was a car behind me, then moved out into the turn and the car shot around me on the right and I slammed on the brakes. The car left tyre marks on the grass verge because it had to swing out so wide to avoid me, and I did the 'hop-around-and-slowly-fall-over' routine.
I would call the police but I was coming back from the pub and I'm sure I'm over the limit.
