Nearly got cut into kerb by a dumb cow overtaking. She then blames me for taking the road and not paying road tax. Polite response didn't work, especially as I tried to make clear the reason I took the lane was because of people passing too close...
Er.
Got nearly sideswiped by car coming out of give way junction, can't get driver, driver who sees it happen gives me the Cycle Helmet Talk. It's like the condom or pill talk, but worse.
The boyfriend went: Next time to tell them how you wearing a helmet is going to improve somebody's driving. Not.
I tend to ignore bad driving these days, else I'd be in a mega rage most days when I am in the car. Lots of twonks. The finger only comes out for really serious offenses of the "I can see you, but choose not to" style driving.
I think next time I'll just go "Should have gone to Specsavers as you didn't see me" and leave it there.
