I was having a fag on my balcony, looking down on the road yesterday.
There is a bus lane, and a normal lane.
Two chaps on bikes, one pulls out to overtake the other, leading to the chap on a motorbike who was coming up behind both of them hauling on his brakes and generally seriously losing his sense of humour.
All of this was in the same lane, which leads to a few questions- if you are coming up behind someone in the same lane and it is obvious that they are about to pull out (speed difference) why not hang back and let it happen?
And for the cyclist- why the fuck did you not look over your shoulder before swinging out?
It's pretty easy unless you are in a neck brace- which not looking may well put you in.
