They shouldn't be allowed near roads. Well, the three I encountered on my way to work this morning certainly shouldn't.
Bluddy Woman No 1 - At a crossroads. I was going straight across. She was opposite me, turning right (her right, my left). So she should give way to me, which she didn't want to do. She started to turn into me and nearly went into the side of my bike. The vinegar faced b1tch had the cheek to give me a furious look, as if it was my fault that she wouldn't give way to me.
Bluddy Woman No 2 - I was in a bus lane (one that's open to bikes). BW#2 was along side. There was a car in front of her who was manoeuvring to park in a bay on the right side of the road. So BW#2 swerves into the bus lane without looking and almost into me. Again gives me furious look, even though I was allowed to be there and she didn't look.
Bluddy Woman No 3 - A pedestrian this time. She starts to cross the road without looking. Then realises I'm approaching, and does the startled rabbit in headlights thing and just freezes in front of me. Emergency stop time and I was very lucky not to hit her. Hope that she wet herself :D To be fair, I could have been going even slower (I was doing under 20mph anyway, as there were pedestrians about).
