Well the caw pushed the wheelchair in the road and started to cross. Checked the green light is still on and kept going, as at that point it would require some serious braking with some cars behind me. She was still 3 to 4 metres to my right when I went over the crossing. Did I get abused or what? She stopped there mouthing off. I seriously considered turning and going back and asking her what her problem was? As far as I am concerned I did nothing wrong. In different circumstances I would stop but I am not going to put myself in any danger just because the caw decided not to wait and go for it! I felt pretty angry afterwards. What do you think? Should I have stopped ‘cause she was pushing a wheelchair? What would you do?

I had a similar thing with some woman leading a blind man across the road, he would have been safer on his own. Geezer in the car that stopped deserves a slap although they probably went home feeling warm and fuzzy muttering about 'the biking menace' and not even realizing they endagered the lives of several people.
