Seriously bad driver, lives in my neighbourhood and frequently handbrake turns round the small lane which connects to the local primary school, awfully dangerous driver with very limited skills
Hi Anna, sorry to hear about your experience. It's also the reason why it's best to take primary position to stop people under-taking you. I used to have this happen a lot when I stayed to the right at junctions and roundabouts. Stay central.. it may not prevent someone trying to squeeze into the same lane, but it will minimise the risk. Please note: this is NOT to say you are in any way at fault here; it is a common misconception to say cyclists not riding primary are responsible for idiotic moves such as the one described. Same for cyclists not having the right to adopt said position. You have every right. They have no right whatsoever to risk your life in this manner. If they do not understand and/or respect your rights, two words: screw them. Get a camera and simply point to it, then if you feel threatened simply get off the road - they're not worth it. Riding central not only means you're more visible but it also limits their ability to act like a moron. Oh, and driver.. if you WERE on the phone in charge of that vehicle? Then I have NO sympathy for you in any shape or form. Too many idiots on our roads thinking they can do what they like. Take care, and enjoy your cycling.
This old girl wasn't having a good day, she flew out of a junction and was nearly hit by the car in front of me. It is a Keep Clear but the lights were green and the traffic flowing, she went round like it was a corner, shockingly bad driving.
This person is going to kill someone driving like a crazed women in a school crossing zone on Manchester Road
