I am turning left at T junction.

20 yards past the turn, driver weaves in front of me, then pulls to middle of rad and stops.
I stopped a few yards behind him.
Not wanting conflict, I peddled-off, only for him to attempt to "door" me and then he chased after me, shouting abuse. Thankfully, I was in a low enough gear to boot away.
He jumps back in car, chases me down a side road (I didn't want to go that way but just wanted to lose him). I mounted the pavement for safety. He then cut in front of me again forcing me up an even smaller road (this was a dead end after about 100 yards). But this time I had my phone out, mounted the kerb again (to avoid ramming) and had 999 entered. I was just about to dial when I glanced behind to see he had stopped.......

Assuming I hadn't been so quick-witted and agile, presumably this would have lead to a scuffle and inevitably police intervention.

Comments?

The solution is to remove the goolies from all motorists.

That's the problem with google. You can usually find what you're looking
for with a fairly simple search. It's knowing *which* fairly simple
search out of the millions of possible fairly simple searches you need
to use to find it ;-) -- Paul D
