I was on my bike, turning left at a T-intersection. As I was on the vertical part of the T and the car was on the horizontal, I should have given way, I admit. But, he was some distance from the intersection, there were no cars on the road at the time, and nor were there any cars parked on the side of the road. So I turned left and road about 1/2 a metre from the gutter, over the painted car parking spaces. There was two clear lanes for the car to drive in, no oncoming traffic for some distance. The next thing I know is the car is within a meter of me, also driving over the painted car parking spaces. I thought I had made a mistake and missed him indicating that he wanted to park, but there was no indicator on as he drove past. He passed me and then turned back on to the road properly as there were cars parked further along.
I realise his only intention was to threaten me, perhaps because I did not give way. Under the circumstances there was no issue of safety, only his appalling attitude to driving. No doubt he has a very small you-know-what.
I would report this incident to the police, but I have no witnesses, as the road was very quiet at the time, and nor do I have photographic evidence.
Incident happened 12 Apr, 2016 at approximately 0750h on the A56 out of Manchester centre just before the Chester Road fork.
Very dangerous driver, Stupidly close overtake of a motorcycle at speed in the wet on approach to a red ATS. When asked what he was playing at, rather than apologising, the driver resorted to a torrent of abuse before speeding off at ~60mph in a 40 zone when the lights changed. Complete disregard for the rules of the road and the lives of other road users.
Ford Mondeo attempting world land speed record between speed humps on quiet residential backstreet. Certainly exceeding 30mph in a 20 zone, then sudden stop to cross hump. If he'd stuck at 20 all the way,
Driver parked in front of dropped kerbs, blocking access to driveway and next door shop. Driver was extremely rude and felt it was his right and that it wasn't his problem there was no where else to park. When confronted he was rude, challenging and dismissive. Agrresive road-rage type, smoked a cigarette in my face in dismissive laughing way. Horrible man.
