You do not, ever, shunt people with your pimped-out Astra. If you do, you may discover that the spotty nerdy cyclist is some hulking great very very angry horror with a stupid moustache.

I'm very impressed that I didn't go beyond throwing his keys in the traffic: for some reason I really, really wanted to go at all three of them. Ho hum, at least they did me the favour of driving with their windows down. Spring may bring the fuckheads out, ,but it makes them easy targets.

advanced stop line

It's the bit at a traffic light that gives a cyclist some room ahead of the other traffic.

Supposedly.

The only sort of on-road cycle farcility that's any fucking use and drivers seem to think it's just a pretty coloured piece of road.

Backing up to the bumper of an interloping car and then accidentally fumbling to get clipped in when the lights turn, or missing a pedal stroke, is a tried and tested method of expressing llama-like disapproval.

Shunting is rare and Most Definitely Not On and To Be Discouraged In The Strongest Possible Terms.

Mroof.

This is true: shunting is rare, this is the first shunt I've had in five years. And alas, I'm not a shrinking violet.
