riding down morden high street last night I'd taken the roundabout onto it with no traffic anywhere near me, I get about halfway down and i'm riding in the left of the two lanes in secondary and i hear a rev and there's a car pulling across from the outside lane straight into me with his indicator on, I shout and accelerate and he keeps coming at me until he's inches from my rear wheel so that i have to ride up onto the pavement at the dropped kerb for the pedestrian crossing just to stop him from hitting me, the cunt then speeds off round the corner 30yds up the road.
I was so fucking angry it took me about 15 minutes to calm down, given it was nearly midnight and not one other car was on the road it was clear he was trying to knock me off for no reason other than I was riding along the road and he was driving along the same road as me. if he was just turning left he had literally 50 odd yards to overtake on an empty two lane stretch of one way road.
cunt cunt cunt. didn't get his number plate either because I was busy trying not to crash as i went up onto the pavement to see it before he turned, couldn't even tell you what the car looked like apart from a compact-mid sized car.
edit: i was pretty much where the grey car was here (http://goo.gl/maps/Qgdgv) , and he pushed me into the kerb all the way up to the pedestrian crossing, then turned at the set of lights after that.
