Eurgh, I really shouldn’t get involved as it boils my pi$$.. however in the spirit of venting:
Me: (knocking on window at the next junction) Did you see me back there? You just pulled out on me and almost caused an accident. I had to slam my brakes on to avoid you
Driver: yes I did see you, I thought that you were going too fast!
Followed by..
Driver: my brother is a pro cyclist so I’m always really careful around cyclists
Me: clearly not, you were lucky you didn’t put me in hospital. Use your brain next time
Ahh, where to start?? Flattering to imply that I might have been going over 30mph, then statements of care that fly in the wind of recent evidence whilst invoking the cyclist relation get out of jail free card. Not that I was squeaky clean, insulting someone’s intelligence is rarely a constructive course no matter how accurate.
Aaand relax.
