I cycle and experience this situation on a daily basis. I've lost count the number of times I've moved over to avoid the dreaded "door zone", as recommended and despite me giving signals and plenty of notice, I get abuse. Some drivers' comprehension of the Highway Code is simply appalling. The last one who didn't want to stay back blasted the horn as they did a close pass, then proceeded to try and block from filtering on their left on the approach to a roundabout. This was a grown woman with kids in the car. I thought to myself, are you THAT immature?
But at the end of the day, it happens. There is little you can do about it other than report each case on its own merit. The one thing you must do however, is not let it fill your mind which is of course easier said than done especially if say you are commuting to work or college and just want to get to where you're going with as little hassle as possible. It sicks in your mind and drags you down. And of course the same happens to drivers, as we all share the road. You know something though, I thought the problems would get less when I got in a car, but to be honest it's just as bad..there's just so many dangerous, inconsiderate people on our roads these days and we live in such a crowded country, with poor parking allocation. Recipe for disaster it is.
You wouldn't believe this driver! Some would say they're a moron but I think they're amazing, I haven't seen anyone rip the hand brake that well in a polo since 99. Really wanna meet this guy/girl!
This idiot tries to intimidate female drivers, swerves in between traffic and drives in a manner which is dangerous to all road users. My husband was absolutely terrified when we came across this driver. He needs to be off the roads NOW!
This tool thought it was funny racing around car park and drifting round corners. Needs to have his license revoked quickly before a person is seriously injured or killed
