Bastard driver nearly killed me tonight

That's pretty unfortunate, when you try and do something good and it gets misunderstood...

Aye, fair play to the cyclist though, he'd have seen two cars moving towards him.

At least he was still able to call me a "stupid fucking cunt" !

you know the roundabout that I was moaning about earlier in the thread?

well... I was in a car on saturday night that did exactly the same thing that I was moaning about, but to a motorbike. I wasn't driving but I was half watching the road. It must seriously be some sort of blind spot or something. My mate half pulled out then noticed the bike and stopped. The bike was in full view as he approached the roundabout but his subconscious must have been telling him that it was Ok, it was only when he was just about to possibly cause an accident that his brain told him to stop.

that's it.. I am going to be really really careful going round there....

Yep, I've given drivers a mouthful before, only to be mortified when I've realised I'd misinterpreted their intentions The probem is when you see such woefully bad driving on such a regular basis, you start to anticipate it.

The Rotherhithe tunnel roundabout is always a laugh when busy. I had a VW van pull out on me yesterday around 4pm and the bloody driver didn't even look on the roundabout to the right at all. He just held his right hand up in advance apology for anyone he hit as he sailed onto the roundabout staring directly forward. He may have well been wearing blinkers

This was too deliberate. It was almost as if the logic was "because I won't look, you'll have to give way and let me out" I decided not to follow him and have a word, as I was so annoyed that word would most likely have been CUNT.

Plus there were two other blokes in the van so it might have got messy if Blinker Boy objected to my precis of his driving ability.

The problem is that the traffic queueing for the tunnel northbound extends back onto the roundabout. If drivers leave a gap so others can enter the roundabout to leave at exists other than the tunnel, then you get cunty drivers who will block these gaps just to jump the queue. Once that happens to you a few times, you can understand why people queue bumper to bumper and are loathe to leave gaps.
