Be careful of reckless drivers

[Bianchi]

So taking these two stories, for what? My new years resolution was to calm down. How can you do that with okes like these?

 

Indeed. I am now a calm driver, but it's hard to be a "calm" cyclist..... with all these idjits like we've identified above..... when they threaten my life, by doing nothing I am only telling him he's won and "I'm sorry for being in your way". Yeah, pepperspray it is

This morning as I was heading down a hill, a wanker in a Beemer turned across me into a side street, but one with a wide approach that drivers tend to take quite fast. I'd watched him approaching and my gut-feeling was he'd be turning, so I'd already slowed down quite a bit. Did he indicate? Of course not, so as he made the turn I made the "use your indicator" fist-to-splayed-hand gesture, and his reaction was (from his facial contortions) to start swearing at me as if I was in the wrong for coming down the hill, and we then exchanged fingers.

Just gotta let it go...

And another horrific scene that played off yesterday.... Could easily have been more killed in this one....
