On brompton this morning, bombing down the 30mph ish hill toward the train station, road is streaming with surface water so brakes are useless, but vis is good and all clear. Until trollface SUV driver coming out of a driveway, looks me in the eye, does a quick mental calc, can almost see his tiny brain conclude 'ah, fuck it', an pulls straight out across me. I had to haul as hard as poss on brakes to scrub off speed and avoid his rear bumper. Only consolation is that I shouted 'wanker!' through his open window and basically directly into his face.
