It happens so often that I'm always prepared. However, I actually try never to be in this situation, taking the middle position in a lane at a traffic light - you really don't want to get hit on the inside of and by a left turning car!<br /><br />I usually ignore. I did in this instance, but because it happens so often, I wonder if anything else could be more effective. <br /><br />I should have added a link to magnatom on youtube who films close encounters etc in Glasgow with a camera on his cycling helmet.cartsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443437791014670129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-72242859386252973992009-07-21T21:05:05.875+01:002009-07-21T21:05:05.875+01:00I guess your best retaliation is to stick your nos...I guess your best retaliation is to stick your nose in the air and think how fit you are for cycling. There are some effing idiots about. Bad driving gets my goat. At the weekend I saw a van turn left at a set of traffic lights forcing the cyclist next to him to turn left too. Good job she had anticipated his idiocy. He hadn't even indicated.sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004801243819162845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-17050962363724481432009-07-21T20:49:47.100+01:002009-07-21T20:49:47.100+01:00I'm the hubby, shoved, but not knocked off. Me...I'm the hubby, shoved, but not knocked off. Men get this too, though less often perhaps; yet perhaps too, more violently; actually what I most often get is a loud "Aaaaaaahhh" screamed at me just as I pass. My tactic is complete ignorance; I know there are pros and cons, but I've got to go places; and I don't give fuel to their fire.

I worked on a site with a load of roadbuilders/ diggers. I was the expert who was holding their work up. When I appeared they asked if I was there to make the tea. Oh how i laughed.<br />I think you are very brave to cycle. I gave up when I had a horrid accident and a group of chav girls stood over me and laughed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577641788742285017noreply@blogger.com
