General consideration

And what happened earlier?
Did you overtake them too close? Pull out from a side road into their path?
I find it quite unlikely that they hit your car without any reason.

Anyway, I hope you have at least learnt you were utterly wrong on "road tax"

Stopped across the cycle lane? Although I don't think there is one there on the road?

I saw where he came from and I didn't over take him he came from the side road my theory is he just got pissy as he wanted to go in the next lane? maybe he woke up on the wrong side off the bed? what do you think as you love this post.

What? Love this post?
It irritates me having to read posts with such poor grammar and spelling, I certainly do not 'love' any of your posts.

Are you any better at driving a car than you are at working the interweb?

You don't think she may be doing both at the same time?

Merton Abbey Mills. I'm going to assume it must be Merantun Way, as it's the only road that really goes anywhere in that area.
No cycle lane, and not really wide enough for someone to overtake without at least straddling the central line.

The other day I parked my car at Tesco. While i was away someone parked beside me, opened their door so it hit mine, then got out as the door ground a circular pattern in the paint.
Obviously that driver must fulfil your criteria and be therefore safe.


Thanks for sticking around for the replies, posts like yours are very often fire and forget.
You are dealing here with a community that includes cyclists and drivers that also cycle who fill all your criteria for training.

Questions:
1. Would you be happy to retake your driving test every five years?
2. When your children ask for bikes for Christmas at 4 years old will you insure them and pay for their training?
It has to be fair for all.

There are people on here myself included that have been treated far worse by drivers than you have been by one cyclist. Some have been assaulted, abused, and some have been killed.
I've had an overtaking car head on to me at 70mph in broad daylight, squeezed into parked cars by a passing truck, had litter thrown into my wheels and had drivers try to intimidate me off the road, including a 44 ton artic passing at less than 6 inches.
Who do you think all of them will blame? Me the cyclist, or me the driver with a 28 year spotless record? Of course they'll believe they're right.

In the end there's a lot of people out there that should not be allowed control of anything with wheels, yet despite all the training and laws they're still there.
It's not one group. It's elements of all of them.

thank you! would I re-take a driving test every five years YES!!! Some drivers are lunatics.
All I didn't like was him "punching" my car (he used closed fists) and I wanted to understand why he done it if he explained I would apologise as maybe I could have been in the wrong but how would I know he swore and cycled off.
as I first stated I don't mind cyclists you guys are alright but ive come across some people in the forum

You don't think she may be doing both at the same time?

are you?
