I am about 100% certain that this will have been mentioned before but I
have to vent my anger/frustration somewhere.

Riding from central Manchester to my flat in Rusholme today, I am riding
along the road at the left hand side. 3 backlights, 2 flashing one
standard so no motorist could ever say i am not visible. As I am going
straight on past a possible left turning some tosser in the car behind
me decides he doesn't have enough time to wait for me to pass the
turning so he can safely turn behind me. OH NO, thats far too ****ing
simple isn't it? Instead he feels it necessary to pull alongside me and
then turn straight across me, sending me and bike flying accross his
bonnett. And then get this, this total ****WIT somehow thinks that it is
my own fault that I am splattered all over the floor and wants me to pay
for the dent in his bonnet. I have got his numberplate and will be
reporting him to the police for dangerous driving.

Next time, phone the police on your mobile and keep him at the scene -
if you can - until they arrive. Feign mild concussion if you need
to. The guy needs his license taken away from him.
