  1. Cycling back home from Dereham this afternoon, WVM was in terminally
    unobservant mode as he pulled out of a side road on the right straight in
    front of me. (He was in a side road, made a right turn on to the main
    carriageway I was cycling on). A swift hammering on of my brakes meant I did
    not go slamming into the side of his box. Nice to know he recognised his
    name, as when I shouted out "W&nker!" he acknowledged this as he looked up
    and saw me before flooring it and speeding off. Tw&t.

    It must be the weather/time of year/time of month...

    Cheers, helen s

    I had one of these the other day. The "lady" was lucky I managed to
    stop, else she'd have had an SPD cleat formed in her door courtesy of a
    90kg battering ram. Of course she had to give me verbal as though it
    was my fault.

    In my case, possibly the sight of moi, a vision of vast acrea of bright
    yellow & black Lycra, sur velo, ranting loudly may well have scared the
    tw&t. Better to avoid the Loony In Lycra ;-)

    You don't think that blood-stained paving slab you were waving had
    anything to do with it, then?
