Some wise words from from The minister of transport
Why some people don't like cyclists
"because cycling is still regarded by some as eccentric"

Coupla years ago was belting down Oxford Street but I had green on my side, never jump the lights, when Cilla Black stepped out in front of me. Jammed on the anchors, lifted the rear wheel, came to a stop about 4mm before running her down. She flashed a smile and said 'go on luv, why don't you just say it ...?' I told her, 'I will when I get home.'
Great day.

the reason that they are scared to cycle is that they know that there are wankers like them in cars. The conversation usually ends at that point.
Bang on the money!

Wigan will suggested that this gets reposted on other threads (from the cycle Training forum)
Chief Inspector Ian Vincent of the cycle Safety Squad is keen to hear reports about aggressive drivers. These can be sent via this website:

Any background?
Is this just a reminder of the roadsafe reporting mechanism or are they trying to collate evidence of a perceived trend so they can justify allocating additional resources to this?
I suspect most of us see aggresive driving everyday but ignore it if no-one is endangered, (such as the guy last night who blasted his horn at a young woman who pulled into the bike box in front of him and alongside me while waiting at lights, when I looked he was on his phone and I saw the words f'ing cyclists formed on his lips).

Ramaye, the background is here from the cycle training thread.
You're right that most of us ignore aggressive driving when there is no nasty outcome. Perhaps we shouldn't
