Apologies for the rather dramatic headline, but if you cycle in the UK you will know that this is the kind of crap we have to put up with every single day – someone driving a car putting our lives in danger.

Paul, the road.cc reader who sent this one in, told us: “I’ve been using a camera for commuting for a week, and already half a dozen examples of poor driving, with this the worst.

“My right of way at the chicane. Maybe he had time to sneak through – but I wasn't ready for him cutting across me – and cutting the corner!

“I live to fight another day,” he added.

Prominent Freudian slip spotted.

So many fairy-cyclists do seem to see their role in society as attacking
and fighting other, random, people they encounter out in public.
