Fucking scumbag of the week goes to this driver of FD04 ELX from Bayleaf Janitorial Supplies. He passed me so close this morning that I 'fended' him off with my right arm and the van hit my elbow! He then nearly caused a collision by undertaking a car. He stopped a little bit down the road so I, calmly, went to ask him how close he thought he was to me. He said he didn't understand English so I said was going to tell him anyway. At this point he started telling me to fuck off and fuck you etc. So much so a guy passing came over to ask if I was ok.
Usually I'd not bother but for this guy I'm going to go into the police station and make a statement; he's worth it! Apparently their clients include *All Star Lanes, The Carlton Club, The Arts Club, The Lanesdown Club, Pied a Terre, Benares, Cipriani, Chez Bruce, Trinity, La Petite Maison, La Zuma, Roka, L’Autre Pied and The Glass House *and actually I know people that work at at least two of those places so happy to tell them what a scumbag driver they have.
Usually it's just one of those things but I'm sick of these drivers nearly hitting me. They're going to put me in hospital one of these days and this kind of situation is one that you can't do anything about when they rag it past you with inches to spare, in the rain.
