Years ago - crossing a pedestrian crossing under a green man moroncycle comes bowling through and took exception to me threatening to kick him off his bike next time.

Hmm 5 examples off the top of my head - all males - all small brained and 2 were definate chavs.

Have you ever considered an anger management course Martin? Roll Eyes

Not when I nearly get run over by an idiot no.

A few years ago I did take a cyclist off his bike ... not intentionally Roll Eyes

, but I just didn't see him Sad

. He was on the main road, I was turn left onto the main road and I clipped his rear wheel as I pulled out which knocked him off. All was reasonably amicable as I helped him sort his bike out etc. It was only as I then overtook him further down the road I realised why I hadn't seen him.
No front light of any description, he was dressed from head to foot in dark clothes and as a token gesture he had a rear lamp that wouldn't have looked out of place on a 1 year old's birthday cake! Undecided
