I just got passed mega close by a guy in a transit minivan shouting as he went past, 50 meters later at the lights I ask him why he passed so close, he starts shouting about me being in the middle of the road, I try to explain how there are parked cars I am staying away from as opening doors can kill me and the fact it's a bend with poor visibility so when something comes the other way people cut in towards me. The lights change and I pull way over because I know he's going to be a dick, I was going right at the lights and he couldn't carry on ahead so I say "well done, look how much distance you've made up, you cunt." as I passed again. It seems he didn't hear me so I shout "you're a cunt!" at the top of my voice as I ride off. So much for staying calm. I'm glad he didn't follow me or anything, I can see those lights from my front door.
