Deliberate near miss

08:20 Apr 16 2012 Totterdown Street

Description
On the one-way section of Totterdown Street this morning I was cycling along. It's a beautiful sunny day.

A driver in a people carrier behind me beeps his horn. I move over to let him pass, he proceeds to swerve at me I can only imagine "to teach me a lesson". Clearly he's forgotten the highway code which states that drivers should take care around vunerable road users i.e. cyclists/pedestrians.

Very shaken. Reported to the police, although unlikely any action will be taken as no physical injury occured. Doubt that the response would be the same if someone shot a gun just next to me to teach me lesson.
