Just a quite note about something that happened today on the way back from work. I got stuck behind a funeral procession today, which isnt that uncommon, but this one had a horse drawn hearse. Riding the bike at around 7mph is fairly tricky anyway and I was intentionally keeping my distance as a bright green sportsbike could upset the two horses up front. Anyway, some oldboy in his shitty C Class merc, the horrid three box version, decided that the space I had left in courtesy and respect was worth forcing me out of the way. I was shocked when he actually started to tailgate the hearse. I couldnt believe what I was seeing. For a brief moment he realised he was a bit close and I was able to pull up next to him to try catch his attention. He chose to ignore me and proceeded to force me out of the way for a second time and tailgate the hearse again. Realising that some people are just ignorant I left him alone. I'm sure that one day and in fact I hope that when his time finally comes, that somebody in an equally shitty rust bucket shows him the same disregard towards his passing.
Scumbag.
