Asshole.
I was nearly taken out by a guy after I had pulled in to let an ambulance by. As the ambulance passed, he hammered past me as I was about to pull away. I guess thats why the over shoulder check is called a life saver.
Oh, I cought the guy a couple of miles down the road. I might have clipped his offside mirror on my way past (read-left it swinging in the wind) :rolleyes

Fair play to you Stiggy for staying calm when you get an asshole like that.

Very lucky , but the guy as he rides on is filtering like an Idiot in my book , unless it just looks as if he is going fast because I am viewing it on the lap top.

I'm faster than most but slower than some, remember that fisheye lenses distort the width gap and speed!

That reminds me of those cameras -- do they have to be Sooooooo wide angle, can you get them not so wide, or can you put them through a program the sort it, as it looks like I couldnt walk through those gaps you rode through

Some unbelievably inpatient punters these days
I was sat at red lights one morning on the way to work when the guy behind pipped his horn
Was wondering WTF when I realised it was because the next set of lights where changing to green ahead
We were still at red but the guy was beeping for me to jump the lights
Cue ironic headshake lol

The other way around--- I was sitting on the right hand side of a woman at red lights, no one else around and they went green and she sitll sat there fiddling with phone, still green light, still fiddling, so I pip my horn - she looks up and I point at the green light and then do a "after you" gesture
