White Toyota IQ reg LC11 YJS:
Southbound on southwark bridge road, you swerved into CS7 to undertake a car indicating right. Had you bothered to check your mirrors and signal your maneuver you might have noticed me using the cycle lane. Had you any road awareness whatsoever you would have come to the same conclusion, having only just passed me anyway. Despite slamming on the brakes and swerving I still hit the corner of your car and the curb, causing me to fall. You stopped briefly, looked at me then decided to drive off without checking if I was ok.
Upon catching you up and asking what you were doing, you explained that you thought it was ok to use the cycle lane, ok to maneuver without proper road awareness or signalling, and that I was 'far enough behind you' (despite the events suggesting otherwise). At the lights I stopped to grab a picture of your numberplate, at which point you decided to get out, get up in my face and threaten to knock me out, which upon enquiry you stated was 'a promise'.
Quick recap:
Driving in the cycle superhighway
Making a maneuver without due care and attention
Failure to signal said maneuver
Failure to stop at the scene of an incident
Threatening to assault
All you had to do was admit to yourself you made a mistake, check I was ok and apologise. Instead you confirmed your twat status and have thus been reported to the police.
