Follow the tail-lights out of the city

[venta]

One of these days I am going to get round to rigging up some LEDs in my rear windscreen so I can spell "BACK OFF" to the person driving way too close behind me.

I hate tailgaters :(

(Today's finally passed me when I was in the middle lane, pulling onto a roundabout to go straight on. He turned right, from the left hand lane, straight across my bows without a signal.)

I never, ever sit alongside cars in a traffic que. I always take up my own space. Reason being that during the first few pedal strokes you can wobble from side to side a bit. I do not want motorists overtaking me in that time.

Oh, did I mention that I was an obstreperous bastard as well?

Fair enough: I wasn't claiming I was in the right :)

On the other hand, personally, I'd rather be outside the flow of traffic while I'm wobbling, instead of having the BMW driver immediately behind me.
