Stuck at lights in city centre traffic when I noticed a pushbike coming up the outside. I kept an eye on him so I knew where he was when the lights changed. I thought his behaviour a litle odd but couldnt put my finger on it. As he passes my lorry a hand holding a phone appears at my window, it flashes and clicks! I shouted out the window asking what he was playing at (I wasn’t that polite!) But he ignores me and carries on riding down the outside of the queue of cars. At this point I realise he’s pointing his helmet cam in the window of each car as he passes!
I was really tempted to jump out the lorry and go after him but the lights changed. He cuts infront of a car and starts riding on the left. I passed him (safely) got some distance infront and pulled into a recessed bus stop, climbed down and waited for him to pass. He obviously saw me waiting because he pulled a u turn and went back the way he’d come.
As I’m stood quietly fuming, plod pulls in behind me with blues on. (Marvelous! ) Asking me why I was in a bus stop, I explained what had happened and said I was so angry I was in no fit state to drive. Plod said ok, but I was to move if a bus turned up (surprising, but not the best bit) then asked for a description before setting off to find them (the best bit)!
This was over seven hours ago and I’m still ■■■■■■ off about it. I’ve no problem people reporting idiots on the road, but this was just too ■■■■■■■ far. And flashing a camera in my face as I’m in charge of a 44 ton vehicle is just stupid. I hope they catch the ■■■■ and chop his ■■■■■■■■ off.
Was hoping to feel better after writing this, but I just feel worse.
■■■■ it, putting my RATM playlist on
■■■■■■■ LOUD.
Chill man, he will get his come uppance soon enough, but shame you may not get to see it happen.
Take a deep breath. A cyclist took a photo of you. This shouldn’t be bothering you seven hours later. Were you having a Tommy Tank or something?

So someone in lycra finds you attractive and wants to keep your picture on his bedside table. 
I had something similar at colchester services. To cut a long story short I was on the pumps and blocked in by a car doing some shopping. Van pulls behind me, cant see the car and begins to toot his horn. I ignored him as im like that, anyway car pulls off I move over to let him past and pay for fuel next thing the bugger has lurched in front of me and starts taking pictures of me and the truck.
Due to the gentlemans fat and bald demeanor I then start doing the same to him, camera phone in hand and face to face I enquire “whats the problem fatty” he doesnt answer, so I launch into a verse of “fatty, fatty, bum bum” at this point he goes bright red and buggers off whilst we still point our phones at each other like two gladiators with the crappiest deadly weapons ever.
Now due to my ineptness with my phone I hadnt switched the camera on what I had actually done was call the wife who was none to happy with my fatty comments, took some explaining I can tell you.
Wound me up so much that I tracked him down and ate the bugger. Tasted quite nice to be fair.
I was approaching a green traffic light when it went to red,i had to stop.i am still annoyed 7 hours later.

That’s nuffin ! I was approaching a green light and was ready to stop quick… and it didn’t change. That was three months ago and I’m still in no fit state to drive.
Thanks for the support guys, muchly appreciated. Now I’ve had a sleep I can see it was a bit of an over reaction, was just a bit of a shock at the time!
At least I hadn’t dressed in the dark and put the wifes undies and socks on (the ones that come all the way up your thighs) by mistake, then got caught in a rain shower and have to take my trousers off to drive.
Again.
P.S. Dipper Dave, you should write a book. Best post ever!
if any of you guys were to visit me at home you would not see a picture of me and i wouldn’t be able to get one to show you ,good thing your thinking as i’m an ugly bugger but it’s my pet hate and i hate and i mean hate being photographed so if anybody pointed a camera at me i would go berserk and if they took a pic i would make every effort to retreive it

I’m afraid something needs to be done about these camara warriors it’s getting beyond the joke now…
Why does a bloke riding a bike think he can record and post footage of car drivers and truck drivers in the hope they make a mistake…
I’m sure if someone took an upshot picture of some passing female in a dress (or bloke if they happen to be wearing one) - they’d be somewhat ■■■■■■ off that such a picture capture device was even being pointed in their general direction.
Mind you, - I never understood it why it’s possible for people to submit to driver-facing photography at work either… So what do I know? 
Karma will get him I understand the need for a camera on his helmet as he may get abuse in some places and its for protection. But there is no need to take pictures of drivers or purposely get people on camera. Karma will get him don’t let the ■■■■■■ get to you.
surely operating a bicycle whilst holding a mobile electronic device equates to being in charge of a vehicle without undue care and attention…? if not it ■■■■ well should. also throw an “no RFL, no MOT, no insurance” charge at the ar5e.
Won’t belong before someone shoves a ragmans trumpet rigth up where the sun don’t shine me thinks
