This morning I left the house for the first time in 2 days, and within 300 fucking metres of my house some chunt drove his battered old POC car straight at me, meaning I had to throw myself onto the pavement to avoid being hit. This was on my road, which is pretty residential, with cars parked down one side of the road (their side... so I had right of way) meaning that cars can’t pass each other but it’s more than feasible for a bike to pass a car, so long as the car driver isn’t a homicidal fuckwit and swerves towards the cyclist.
I was too surprised to make a note of the car registration but I was THIS close to turning round and going back home to bed.
