    The streets of Dublin are very tough when it comes to cycling....

    This morning a truck driver decided he was in the wrong lane on the Naas Rd to turn so he pulls across 3 lanes to get into the correct lane missing me by inches. Gave him the finger which he duly replied with one himself.

    Again this morning some scumbag in a white van spat at me while passing me by. Missed me but only just :eek:

    Its crazy out there....

    In future, report such incidents to TrafficWatch: 1890-205-805. Have the reg plate and other details to hand.

    Keep a camera or camera-phone handy. They never usually get too far.

    One guy freaked at me when I took a pic of his car on my phone.

    Is it illegal to take pictures now?;) What did he say?

    I've done it before myself. More of a warning to the motorist that I might take it further.

    something about me criminally damaging his car after I banged his window when he over took and squeezed me out of it.

    This would have been really useful on Monday. Friend of mine got run off the road by a bus and I narrowly escaped up at Sally Gap.
