This driver got all horny because I lacked hand signals. At this dangerous roundabout, I keep both hands on the handlebars, too many near misses here. The irony that the driver didn't indicate is not lost on me.

FFS don't use phones whilst driving or anything that takes your attention away from the road.

The only way to deal with these harassing and intimidating drivers is to have cameras running and a police force that's willing to do something about it.

This dangerous close pass was on Argents Lane where a cyclist was killed in a road collision one year ago. When reported to @essexpoliceuk.bsky.social the result was a warning letter. Essex Police are not serious about Vision Zero and protecting cyclists.
Still from video showing a blue vehicle close passing a cyclist along a narrow country lane

No deterrent whatsoever. When is road justice going to be properly addressed?

Why do I get the opinion that the punishment for this chap will be unduly lenient and he will ignore a driving ban anyway....
