Not me fortunatly, but walking up Bishopsgate just now and a marked 5 series BiB goes screaming (and I mean proper fast) up the road, blues and twos on.

Courier motorbike is riding along and is forced out in to the MIDDLE of the road as the BiB forces an undertake, bike wobbles and BiB brake skid, then accelerate past.

VERY close call for the bike and sorry to say, I'd lay the blame squarely on BiB if it had of gone nasty.

There really is no excuse for nearly killing people, no matter where they are going or what they are going to.

Was late for work one day having had to suffer a diversion to my journey. Fed up with fighting the one way system, I took a cheeky left turn onto Bishopsgate, shouldn't have done it but the road was clear of people and so through I went. I was stopped by the old bill a little further on, who gave it a bit of nono I appreciate I shouldn't have done what I did, but what does he say? "I nearly killed someone trying to catch up with you!" banghead

Brilliant, so you do a slightly cheeky manouver, but he nearly kills someone on the way to slapping your wrist!

Something very wrong with priorities me thinks...

Indeed, but since he was carrying a gun, I thought it not best to debate the matter.

Blimey...what the hell were you doing to warrant an armed response...you can tell me...did you exceed the speed limit?
