No report to police, but I'm gonna get my rant on - picture, if you will, the scene. Yesterday eve at around 7pm, approaching a small roundabout on a very quiet residential street, I'm gonna turn right. I can hear a car approaching from behind, I take a look, it's not moving particularly fast, but faster than me. I have the option to maintain my primary position, slowing the car slightly, or move kerbside and slow to allow them to pass me before the r'bout. As it's a quiet road I stay out and am sadly not particularly astonished to find myself being overtaken at the very last second by a dippy old bat, who then has to slam on the brakes to circumnavigate the small tight r'bout. Being a dimwitted ho-bag, she anxiously watched me in her wingmirror whilst driving round the r'bout and subsequently messed up her exit, clipping the kerb as she did so. She probably got home and moaned to her cats about the hoodlum / looter on the bicycle. A menace to society.
