I was cycling up George Lane, South Woodford today, and pulled over on the pavement to check an address.
Having done so I tried to cross the road here (so from 'Enzo' to 'Zizzi' - crossing the side road):

There was a white Range Rover Evoque that wanted to turn right - which it did, very nearly hitting me.
I said 'watch where you're going', to which his response was 'you don't even have a driving licence' (not true, obviously, I've just got more sense than to be driving around congested city like London), so I then spent several minutes shouting at him and telling him that if he's turning into a side road he should give priority. He wouldn't accept that he had done anything wrong, and eventually drove around me.
