Driver hung right back behind me and followed for a while. Driver behind him passed us both like a bellend. Driver still behind did a perfect overtake. They had L plates. After passing, driver gave me the finger. I caught them up the road and asked...
...why he gave me the finger after doing a perfect overtake. His mum was in the passenger seat and said “he did what??!? You did what??” Then she whacked him in the guts with the back of her hand and demanded he got out so she could drive...
...and said to me “I’m not driving with him again. This is the third time he’s done this to a cyclist” and apologised. I said she didn’t need to apologise, then said to her son that if he has this ridiculous attitude he’s going to turn out to be a shit driver and a shit person.
It’s so weird. He was, presumably, barely 17 and already has this idiotic opinion, despite having no driving experience where this opinion has formed
And that’s because the opinion doesn’t come from being a driver and seeing cyclists being bad
It comes from elsewhere. It’s false.
