So, yesterday, me and DS aged nearly 2 were out on the bike (he has a bobike seat on the front). We were cycling happily along the road when we encountered an idiot who was too busy talking on her phone to look before pulling out in front of us. I fortunately managed to emergency stop, about a foot away from her car. She continued talking on her phone and did also stop, but then offered no apology, instead choosing to glare at us for taking more than half a second to move out of the way (surprisingly I didn't think about shifting out of top gear before stopping). She then started moving before we were past the front of car thus nearly clipping my back tyre.
I was (am) so cross about it. I think I'm mostly cross because of the fact that she seemed to think we were in the wrong for daring to be on the road where she wanted to be driving.
Then today, saw the same woman driving her car, again on the phone, so I took note of the car reg. Am thinking about reporting it to the police.
The thing is, can the police actually do anything about it? Or will I just be wasting my time? If it were up to me she'd be banned from driving forever for simply being an idiot!
