This morning was a real close call.
I'm riding along near elephant with a couple of cyclists behind me and I hear a driver come revving up behind us. Immediately I'm wary and then she starts to overtake us. I see a side road on the left ahead and just as I'm approaching it I check to see the driver level with me on my right. Next thing I see her indicator start flashing and I think "oh no, surely not". She started to turn left on me and I manage to stop with a skid with her bonnet in front of me. Luckily she stopped too. It was a good job that I looked for her indicators, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stop in time.
No apology from her. She starts babbling on about something, I think claiming she thought we were turning left and that we shouldn't have been there. Cue repeated shouts of "YOU'RE RIDICULOUS" from the cyclist behind me. I tried not to swear and when I realised she was such a moron I just rode off.
Imbecile.
