Was waiting the get across the road at the junction of Acton Street and Grays Inn Road in London this evening on my bike. I don't really like going half way over as I feel just too vulnerable waiting in the middle.
Acton Street is narrow at this point, often made worse by parked cars. The driver was unable to pass on my left and whilst I was waiting for both lanes to be clear, he accelerated, passed me on my right, cut in front of me, hitting my front wheel in the process and almost knocking me off.
Dangerous and reckless. Could easily have killed me had I been able to start crossing a fraction earlier, as he would have hit me, and not the front wheel.
