Heading south on Brixton Hill this morning about 8.45 - 8.50. I'm used to cars cutting into the bus lane there to undertake cars waiting to turn right into the residential streets. However this morning there were no cars turning right at this time when this driver decided to put his foot down swerve into the bus lane and nearly knocked me right off the road.
I caught up with him at the lights and asked him (in a not so polite way) what he thought he was doing and if he knew how close he was. His response was to laugh at me, wind the window down and tell me to fuck off. I was furious and as the light turned green I (I'm ashamed to say) spat over his bonnet and windscreen. Not really a smart move but it didn't mean he could then follow me up the bus lane drive alongside me and swing towards the pavement. Luckily there was a lowered bit of kerb I managed to swerve onto and he drove off laughing. I can't believe he thinks its funny to put someones life in danger.
The fact my bike is probably worth more money than that cheap shit death mobile he is putting people's lives at risk in makes me think he probably doesn't have insurance/mot/driving licence/road tax (at least he probably doesn't have one of them).
I pulled alongside him a couple more times up the hill and seriously considered smashing his wing mirrors or denting panels but thought better of it.
It's a civillian car so he hasn't got a company I can report him to. Also, he never made contact with me and I stupidly spat on his car so the police will probably need no help. Just need to vent my frustration and share my story.
I'm a bit calmer now. Will be happy to finish work and go down the pub later.
