Please report dangerous drivers to the police - Roadsafe. Report to plod, not just whinge here.

A good point well made.

@JF

Were you signalling when he overtook you?

I'm 1000% with you about the lack of patience but if your road position isn't normalised (i.e. nowhere near the gutter), and there is zero communication (i.e. a look back and signal) with said driver they make their mind up early, simply dismiss you as just an object in the way and pass by all means necessary. It shouldn't be this way and my suggestion may not have made the slightest bit of difference but it's one more possible step.

I had turned left onto the road and at that point was alone on the that road. The road is short so I immediately moved into the right side of the left lane ready for the single lane to split into two and for me to be in the right hand one to turn right onto the main road. The lights were red and there were already cars queuing. I have no idea where the van came from, either from the left or the right of the mini- roundabout. I was already in position so wasn't signalling or manouvering. First thing I knew about the van was hearing it, then it was coming past me, then coming back into the lane in front of me and braking to wait in line. Dude must have accelerated fast, swerved out and passed with with very little warning.

I had lights and was visible, the road is very short and the van came fast.

That said I've been overtaken when signalling right, and having moved to the centre and about to turn right.

Drivers just want to get a look at that Greek profile of yours Jimmy.

I'm on the verge of packing it in.

Pack it in or move to France.

I've put my cycling on hold (kind of) and I'm putting all my effort into moving to a more cycling friendly country.

Oh, and Fuck Boris up his waffling arse with a jumbo jet because if he gets the go-ahead to build that feckin' airport runway near my house I'll boil his head the twat.

This fucking country. Remember your forefathers fought for this?

More coffee please?

Is it the most dangerous time of the year to be on the road or something ?
Everyone seems to have their head in the clouds.

I nearly got taken out 3 times yesterday, a 4x4, a micra and a addison lee people carrier.
Today i saw two cars go through a red light ped crossing, the second car obviously just following the first, nearly took out a boy crossing.

Also got called scum and spat at this morning. Stupid bloke then pulled up to where he obviously lives plus i have his number plate..... a nice bit of tyre slashing this weekend !

Revenge, is a dish, best served cold.... any other ideas ?..... moooaaahaa haa aaa.

yeah. you could not commit arson. that's always an option.

Definitely do not blend up some fish/prawns, leave it to fester for a week and then pour it all down the vents at the bottom of the windscreen. Don't do this.

and i definitely shouldnt take all of your ideas (keep em coming) and do all of them.
apparently sugar in the petrol tank is a bad idea.

Draw cocks on his bonnet, with eggs, apparently this does something...don't.

^^ vietnamese fish sauce is a quicker one...

Don't write him a strongly worded, scathing but polite note and leave it for him.

Don't leave it to fester, pour it in fresh. It won't smell bad for a few days, by which time it will have circulated to all parts of the ventilation system.
Better still is to go to a proper old fishmonger and get some fish offal. Blending that together with a bit of water gives a far richer tang to the air emitted from the air vents.
You don't need much. An old bidon full is enough for ten cars. So just pour it all into the one.
It creeps up quite slowly in winter, if it is cold, but on warm days it will make the car unbearable.
He'll never be able to drive it or sell it.

Don't superglue a penny to the windscreen...

Just an update if you had been reading the messages I put, had a call from an officer who seemed way way more interested and on the ball. Also a tad annoyed as CCTV might be written over now it's much later, restored my faith in the thin blue line a little.

And definitely do not draw / write anything unsing sun-tan lotion on the vehicle's paintwork, as you don't want to create a subtle effect that only a respray could remove....

That works on cars as well as people ? I did not know that.

Make it offensive åla:

"someone I know" once wrote "wanker" on a screen with a finger dipped in chain lube
It came off really easily, but was alway visible when it rained. I heartily recommend you don't do that.
Quite neat and small and right where the driver will see it. Written so it read right from inside.

He added: “Ms Lee had a fixed gear bike. She wouldn’t have moved off quickly. If it had been a geared bike she might have got away quicker.”

Complete bullshit? Is this for real?

Always for real, driver seemed to think there's no other way to avoid her too.
