thank you for stopping and taking the time to shout at me at the traffic lights in Dulwich Village. I'm very happy that you claim to have a category A licence - this is a good thing. However, your definition of "not doing anything wrong" seems to mean:

a) turning right from a left hand lane without indicating
b) driving your van six inches from my back wheel (in the wet)
c) entering a box junction when your lane on the other side was not clear
d) sitting six inches from my left arm while cutting into the filter lane and then once again turning right without indicating while trying to overtake me on the inside.

You were then, as previously mentioned, kind enough to question why I was trying to wave you away from my back wheel and give me a bit of space. Oh, and then you tried to drive up the inside of me again, which was nice, and not at all threatening or dangerous.

I ask you - if this is how someone with a category A licence drives, what hope is there for educating people who don't ride a bike?

Yours sincerely,

Mr. P. Nut

Van drivers are like women...alwyas right
