I was travelling anti clockwise around Regent's park this morning and taking the South West corner. It's always innocous around there, light traffic, wide road so switched off momentarily.
Was properly woken up by guy in white van deciding to pull a U-turn aproximately 1 second after overtaking. Due to the position on the curve I was tending to swing out a bit on the exit and so pulling to the left didn't feel too clever. Ended up stopping about level with his rear bumper as he'd come to a full stop for some reason.
Was a literal 'oh shit' moment, followed up with some choice anglo saxon. He lent out to point out that "I have indicated!"
