Caucasian female dark hair driver.
Last night at Shepherds Bush I wanted to move from far left lane to far right. There’s about 4 lanes. This car in front had the left indicator on so I was waiting for it to move before deciding when to change lanes myself. For some reason the car was moving right though, while the left indicator flashed. I rode up alongside the car and noticed the woman driver talking on the phone AND writing stuff down on a notepad she was resting on the steering wheel!! No wonder the silly bint was veering across the road!
I moved over to the far right lane as planned and she was in the next one over now. As I rode alongside her (driver’s side this time) I noticed she was still writing and not looking where she was going! I tapped on her window and pointed to her notepad (moving swiftly out of the idiot’s way). She wound the window down to swear at me. I commented on how stupid she was driving a tonne and a half of steel whilst writing! She swerved her car at me and continued swearing. I yelled “I’ve got your plates” and pointed to her number plates. She drove off (only to be stopped at the lights 100m away, where I probably yelled some insults at her before I continued on my way home. This woman is a danger to anyone on the road and should not be allowed to drive.
This happened Monday evening. On Monday morning (Uxbridge Rd, Ealing) I was hit by a car that turned across my path without looking or indicating. I swerved but ran out of room and connected with the woman’s car, knocking her mirror clean off!! Comedy! I was yelling at her and she jumped out of the car apologising. I berated her for not using her mirrors and then realised what I’d said. “Well, you don’t use them so I removed it for you!”. I checked over my bike and arm and was okay and she was very apologetic. I lectured her about using mirrors (I was laughing to myself by this stage) and the bike lane that indicates cyclists are around and went on my way. My arm’s a bit stiff and sore today but good enough to punch through the skull of the next idiot that tries to kill me.
You must be gettin some form dude.
That sorta aggression only comes with good form.
🙂
Is that what it is then? Good form 🙂
Nice one. At least you’ve got a 50% appology rate, and the red lights took care of the rest. My suggestion – a carefully targetted foot to the door always works a hoot. And most cars are built so flimsily that they just pop straight back out. And if they can afford to drive a non-flimsy car, they probably have insurance that covers it. Lucky there’s no mirror-glass in your arm. Keep kickin’ and a dentin’
