Realise this is an old thread - if there's a newer one that deals with the same stuff I'll move over.
Immediately after nearly having my rear wheel taken out by a half asleep mini driver on euston road this morning some twonk in a small van decided he was fed up of waiting in lane so he pulled over from the left hand lane in to the bus lane without indicating. I was going at a fair lick down the bus lane and this meant my shoulder was introduced to his rear tail light (but stayed on the stead).
I then went over to the passenger window and asked him what the hell he was doing - he starts getting in to a fit of rage saying I punched his van! His wife is screaming blue murder in the passenger seat as he undoes his seatbelt and launches a punch across her out the window at me! Caught me lightly but he was no joe frazier.
The thought went through my head to say "alright lets do this then" but thought better of it, lights went green and he sped off with his wife still screaming. all a bit surreal. Didn't get his number plate so I guess that's the end of that.
