Country Lane Encounter
The meeting of two cars on a downhill country lane, neither of the cars appears to slow down as you might hear.
@CyclingMikey +1: I do the exact same thing, and we have a lot lanes like that down here in Cornwall.

Just replaced the LCD screen on my wife's HTC Desire thanks to this. I was a bit nervous but it is working fine now. I did not have the ESD wrist strap but was wearing all natural fibres and was barefoot to reduce risk if static.

Cyclist vs. Businessman
Pretty awesome.
useRespect ohRespect
Just for info: In the UK the cyclist could have been prosecuted as there is no law against a pedestrian crossing the road anywhere they want to (thank goodness). They should use due care, but coming at them from the wrong direction would put the road user squarely in the wrong.

A cycling Lord Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, almost comes a cropper with a cockney trucker.

Rule 170: "Take extra care at junctions. You should... watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way"

I am surprised that people think a rear window (it is not a 'windscreen') should be compulsory, it is not for bicycles or motorcycles, so why for cars? There have been one or two models over the years that have opening rear windows, as well as many cabriolet and open top models that have no rear ...

Get out of my way, I drive a Jeep
Jeep driver decides that he has priority when he's on the wrong side of the road.
The underlying problem was actually his speed IMO, 10mph slower and he would have had time to see you coming, and pull back over if necessary.

@skeftomenoon I would estimate his speed to be approaching 40mph to overtake another vehicle that is travelling at 20mph that quickly, but I could be wrong.
