    No, it's because I'll still be indicating right from just having overtaken him no doubt.

    Still, so long as he has insurance in case he scratches the car, I don't mind either way.

    Oh, so you're overtaking the cyclist 20 yards before a junction then slamming on your brakes and turning across them? Real bright spark, aren't you...

    You're a cyclist aren't you.
    I thought you expected every motorist to do it. After this post, I've a reputation to uphold surely.

    Not a cyclist at all these days - don't have a bike, even. Now I'm just a considerate motorist and have an ounce of...what's it called? Oh yeah...common sense. Try it some time.

    I always do, I find the best result is if the cyclist is just very slightly behind it.

    I hope for your sake you never find out the hard way what it feels like to run someone down, purposefully or not...but it's not a joking matter.

    You can hear the crunching better if you open the rear windows
    Approach her; adore her. Behold her; worship her. Caress her; indulge her. Kiss her; pleasure her. Kneel to her; lavish her. Assert to her; let her guide you. Obey her as you know how; Surrender is so wonderful! For Caroline my Goddess.
