"Oh Shit" moments...

Prick.

Nothing personal.

It's just cactuses don't sting.

It's just cactuses don't sting.

I think it's neither just nor unjust.

Are you suggesting a cactus's natural habitat is a moral desert?

Not really, they have spines, after all.

ha! repz.

More of an "oh shit" moment for the guy driving the flash car but I figured I would share because it made my day.

I was approaching some lights that were on red, I filtered through the traffic to the front. I passed a Police car, a flash red car, and then joined a cyclist in the green box. I waited for the light to turn green, set off and turned right.

As I turned the corner I heard screeching tyres and loads of revs coming from behind me, a quick glance over my shoulder confirmed that I should probably get out of the way. Billy big bollocks in his flash car had decided it would be super cool to do a massive wheel spin away from the lights and speed around the corner weaving around cyclists and other cars.

Obviously hadnt noticed the Police car sat directly behind him at the lights.

Always check your rearview mirror folks.

also, it looks like the guy has form.

Hahahaha... Should possibly have been posted in epic fail/epic win depending on how you look at it :)

this guy would have that number plate.

BALL ERR, I can't get over that.

On your car

... For people to* see*

I suspect he means it in the Thug Life sense, rather than the Hampstead Heath sense.

Coming out of town is a fly over, slip road onto the motorway underneath on the left side. Just after a set of lights on a main bus route.
You always get left hooked. Just a guarantee there so I'm always very cautious most cars don't indicate and floss it to get past.
A crappy mini MPV was trying very hard to get in front of me as we were approaching the turn, so I slowed to avoid the inevetible. He changed up, fucked it and stalled at the mouth of the slip road. Couldn't hop the pavement so I went round the right, bus is right on my wheel.
Pretty sketchy, was expecting a torrent of horns as the traffic went back past me but all I got was some young kid wipe his forehead like "phew" grinning at me.

Great! I've had a couple of really close, wheelspinning passes down Wimslow/Oxford Roads from this idiot.

Passing on a bus on the right hand side.
I'm already half way along his side when the indicator flashes and he pulls out.
I couldn't wave at him with my hands, so I used my head.
Looked like a parrot cracking a nut.
He didn't check his mirror at all, I didn't even bother having a go.
His ludicrous moustache proved he cares not what other people think.

Could so easily have been a massive FAIL.
Love the way she wipes her brow afterwards

Umm ... this was a big viral thing about two years ago.

First bullet point.

Aren't you the one that deliberately cuts up cyclists ? think you have bigger problems than brake laws

Didn't they change the Highway Code to make people let buses out? Sort of feels like in last couple of years they've just started pulling out regardless of what's coming, which isn't helpful if you're halfway past on a bike, particularly as they tend to go the same speed as a bike.

Yup!

This. It's really annoying when you end up on a stretch of straight road where the relative speeds are such that you overtake the bus at a stop, it overtakes you (dangerously) then pulls in to the next stop, ad nauseam.

Yes but it says let the bus out if ITS SAFE TO DO SO eg if you'd cause a pile-up or a dangerous situation you don't have to.

If you're already half up it's side when it starts indicating, where are you going to go?

Also, bus driver check mirrors/blindspots...boring stuff like that.
