Headed towards the flyover from Stratford into town this morning so got into right lane, primary.
Transit behind aggro, revving. Undertakes into left lane to pull alongside. Driver foaming at mouth:
"That's going to get you killed, you should be there" Points at blue bit.
"But I'm going over the flyover, it's safer"
Something unintelligible combined with more frothing
"Calm down , mate"
"PRICK, fucking prick!"
What's depressing is I felt I wouldn't have had this exchange if the roads weren't crawling with plastic cops focusing on cyclists.
