Hi all,
I'm only posting this because it was a very odd situation and both the car driver and I shared a look as we passed. So there I was, coming home from another hard day at work, hoping that another commute would take place with not a lot going on when all of a sudden...
What I meant to say was:
"The first thing about cycling on a road is to be very predictable. If the car driver knows what you are going to do, they can plan for you. It's safer. Always stick to the left hand side of the road unless signage says otherwise."
What I actually said was:
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?!?"
Basically they got spooked because they were holding up a car while going around the lorry. The woman then decided to freak out and bail into my cycle lane, while her partner tried to decide between gutter and following her and basically putting himself right in front of the car.
If you are in this position just chill. Signal left. Pull in. Stop. Take a breath. Then move on. Don't do the above, it's plain silly.
Thanks for reading,
