I've wondered myself - probably only if they were immediately involved in an accident?

Yes,but I more often thank people for being considerate.

Lots of cammers send footage to the police. Not much happens.

 

I shouted at a bloke in a car once for cutting me into the curb. He stopped and got out to give me some grief shouting "I didn't see you!".

While he was getting back to his feet, I shouted "You didn't see that either!"

My usual reply to that comment is "you weren't looking".

I got doored by a taxi driver on Hurst Street emptying out his ash tray and crisp packet collection. I was so furious I stopped and shouted "Pick that up!" until he did.

I always smile, wave or say thanks to people who are nice though.

I agree that you have to be courteous as well. I always give a thumbs-up to motorists letting me cross to the middle of the road where Harborne Road branches right towards Five Ways. A very nasty junction for a cyclist that one!

What does one do with a cat that messes on the carpet?

I'd be careful about making posts like this - some of the forum members here are police officers.

I moan at cyclists who spend more time moaning at drivers than getting to where they need to be.

Give 'em a wink and be on your way. Thats what i say.
