Vauxhall Vivaro BT Van, white driven by male
Seen at 01:00pm on 03-Sep-2010 on Sandy Drive Bedfont Greater London
I was gobsmacked watching my neighbour being moved out of his flat by a BT Outreach telephone repair Van. No wonder I can never get my bloody phone fixed for weeks on end if BT workers are moonlighting doing removals jobs. To make things worse all the stuff was smoke damaged so all that $hit was being shoveled in the back.

Volkswagen Caddy, white driven by male
Seen at 02:30pm on 02-Aug-2010 on Lee High Road Lee Green Greater London
The incident happened this afternoon. I was queuing to turn right at a very busy junction. The lane to turn right can only usually accommodate 2 cars in busy traffic. There was a learner driver at the front who did not go fully to the front of the lane, so my thought was to wait until the driver moved forward to see if I could make the right hand turn. The man in a white van behind me decided to b ......... read the full report

Complete so and so drove his car into the back of my bike deliberately because I was waiting for a guy in front of me to do a 3 point turn. If I hadn't waited, that guy would have run into me too, because he hadn't bothered to check if anyone was coming.
