I thought I'd seen most of the idiotic driver behaviour... but one
tonight had me stunned.
I was travelling my usual route down Lyons Rd (siderney,
http://tinyurl.com/z8uhu passing from right to left). Traffic was its
usualy heavy self, plus it was raining, dark, you get the picture.
I came to the first roundabout at Great North Rd and chose to slot in
behind the first two cars stopped at the roundabout, and wait my turn.
As usual with roundabouts, you need to claim the lane or some idiot
will run through beside you. Mr black SS ute (rego "CSS 1" if anyone
sees the ********) behind obviously didn't like this too much, and
crept forward to within a foot of me, gunning his engine. No worries I
figure, usual big-engine-small-mind syndrome, nothing to worry about.
So we go through the roundabout, he's trying to squeeze inside by
running up on the mound in the middle of the road (which is flat so
buses can get around). At this point, I did as I always do and claim
the lane all the way (100m) down the hill to the next roundabout.. 'cos
the traffic is going so slow and I'm never holding anyone up. This
time, I'm make sure of it because I'm worried he'll try to squeeze
past. Small-**** SS decides this is way too much and overtakes me on
the *outside*, tyres squeeling, in the bike lane, then cuts me off
before the next roundabout forcing me to swerve and brake hard to avoid
him.
I was too stunned to do anything other than yell obscenties at him.
