Coming back from uni today, busy road, two lanes each way. A bus is blocking the entire left-hand lane (hazards going and everything) so I safely pull into the right lane (huuuuuge gap) and go to pass. It's clear what my intentions are - there's a fucking mahoosive yellow bus in the other lane.
The genius in the car behind me decides that he will straddle the centre line and pass me while I'm passing the bus.
As he's about 2/3 of the way past me, it dawns on him that yes, there is traffic on the other side coming the other way, so he quickly cuts back in. Luckily I see the oncoming traffic and figure out what's going on so manage to slow enough that he doesn't clip me as he swings back in.
Proper shat myself because not only would he have taken me out, but he may very well have pancaked me against the bus as well.
He had to stop at the next red so I got alongside him and made various international hand gestures (mainly faux-wanking) through the window. I think he got the picture.
WAC.
