I hate people using their mobile phones behind the wheel and this driver was guilty of an offence because he had his phone in his hand (if it was in a cradle and he was fiddling with it, in the eyes of the law, that is legal). Having said that, this driver was polite and apologetic. He was at least stationary, kept the zebra crossing clear (which is rare these days), was immediately aware of the cyclist's presence and attempted to manoeuvre his van to the side when he thought the cyclist couldn't get through. Because be was being considerate, I think it's unfair that this video was uploaded. I feel a bad for him because he could now potentially lose his job, which would more than likely result in him being replaced by a typical white van man who has no manners or consideration for others and drives like a lunatic. So in a strange way, this cyclist may have just made the roads that little bit more dangerous.
I'm glad to discover we have a J. B. Priestley fan here. He did wright some gripping novels, though I wouldn't describe him as peng but whatever floats your boat, my dear. Im positive he would have been ecstatic to have a secret admirer.
I was putting bags in the boot of the car when this idiot reverse parks and nearly hits me! The photo shows where she stopped with me in between the 2 cars. Looked shocked when I said she nearly hit me... her reply was that she had her parking sensors on! Couldn't get the car boot shut she was that close. Gave me attitude when I asked her to move her car so I could close it! Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive.... she'll end up knocking a small child down.
It must be hard being perfect Steve. Hard job delivering parcels in the dark. Hope Santa messes up your delivery Perfect Steve.
