Not just one "oh shit" moment today but three on the way to work. Making up for fairly pleasant trips in for the last months or so
1) Traffic lights on Brixton Road/Oval - Ped running across the road between stopped busses not looking, emergency stop and both of us stopped having an "ooh this could hurt" thought. Luckily close miss
2) Lambeth north heading to Waterloo - white van man decided to cut from left lane to right lane undercutting a bus and nearly clipping me
3) Baylis Road/Waterloo Road a different white van man does the same thing, he is in the right lane going straight over and then decides he wants to go left, cutting me up.
What happened to mirror, signal, maneuver ? Oh right - you drive a white van so you don't bother
