Pulling away after a red light at a ped crossing with a bag full to the brim of food so not feeling especially fast or agile, get up to speed steadily with a taxi alongside on the road (was in the cycle lane) and then the drivers decided the left turn 10 metres ahead is where he wants to go and starts pulling towards me. Saw the repeater come on and sprinter to get past as I was nearer the front than the back (I could clearly see the driver) and did a little left sweep to avoid getting taken out. On a positive when I got home it was pleased to find my eggs had not been crushed by beer!
