An incident on my commute home yesterday disturbed me somewhat...

Leaving my work town of Hexham and cycling over the Tyne bridge on the outskirts I make a right turn off the trunk road onto a B road, My usual commute.

As I signalled to turn right and made my manouvre to the centre of the road a red Mazda pickup blasted up behind me and was determend not to give way forcing me to take evasive action then missing me by inches at high speed .(also blowing out high amounts of exhaust smoke)
I gesticulated at the driver, pointing to my eyes etc, the usual stuff.

Continuing on my way home, a couple of miles from home again I was given a scare when this same pickup overtook me and was to close for comfort.....

But what really alarmed me, was, just as I was approaching the outskirts of my home village the pickup was standing at the side of the road as though waiting of me, I immediatly thought oh! this is going to be one of those face out slagging matches, but when I started to get near the vehicle took off with wheels spinning and a cloud of exhaust.

I only hope the driver was`nt making sure of my identity to "mark my card" as it were.... And he drove off just before I got close enough to memorise his licence No... Scarry!!!!!!
