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!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

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<\/i>!! 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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
