It's a bit a but I find this thread reassuring. When you have those heart stopping moments and look around to see if someone, anyone witnessed them, and didn't, it's nice to be able to come and vent here instead.
This week I've experienced 3 'oh shit' moments all as a result of f**king stupid driving by shitty female drivers in SE London, all within a radius of 300 metres from each other within 24 hours. Of course each of these factors may or may not be significant but meh, whatever. I'm sick of it.
Turning in towards me at speed from across the other side of the road with no indication or intention of stopping and then honking 'AT ME' and sucking their teeth because I'm in their path and squeaking, qualifies them all as total f**ktards.
Fortunately I have been cycling in these parts for many years so have come to expect this kind of retard driving, so on each occasion, I managed to pull sharply away.
Close calls though...
