Puttering towards home yesterday,after a bracing ride in the westerly gale, through the urban area at a steady 50kph.......become aware of engine noise approaching from behind, on the left hand side.....funny, there's only a cycle lane on my left...then comes the car, which drives past, in the cycle lane,
passing inside me and then pulling straight back out in front of me into the vehicle lane.....found the horn button eventually (Hadn't used it before) and "tootled melodiously upon the warning device" (and yelled just a little as well...
...politely of course!). Car then slows way down....so I pass and look questioningly through the driver's window.
Driver winds window down as I pass. I get in front, pull off road to left and stop, preparing for a "verbal exchange"...
...car goes right past, very slowly, driver has passenger window down, shouts "I SORRY, I SORRY".....which prompts me to ask....."When did they start giving out licenses in weetbix boxes?"
