Richmond road by the big sainsburys in kingston - I was in the middle of two cars trying to get to the front, as i got there the lights then turned green, checked to see how far behind the car was from me, there was plenty and then i held out my left hand (so i could get back into the cycle lane) a women driver hits my arm and fucked up my straps on my left pedals, which nearly got tangled in her wheels - nearly toppled me over into the next lane of traffic skreaming past me. I was forced right in front of a 4x4, luckily i managed to stay up and get out the way quickly but if i had fell .... i don't want to know what could of happened.
the women bolted off in some beat up red nova or something along those lines - drivers stupid-ity astounds me, this is the second time i have checked, indicated and a driver rammed me - the first time was a few years ago the exact same thing happened again, the driver stopped to check if i was alright (which was nice) and THEN went off on one about how he's a london buss driver and would never do anything to endanger a cyclist and that it was 100% my fault....pisses me off to no end. both where in broad day light
