5 Jul, 2017 - 9 years ago - on Kentwell Road
This descent down to this section of road is an easy 50km/hr for a cyclist. Riding in the door zone "bike lane" is a matter of when, not if you will die. This driver was frustrated that I didn't get out of her way. Normally I ride the middle of the lane here, partly to escape drivers throwing open their doors but mostly to position myself for a right turn at the roundabout from Kentwell Rd into Sloane Crescent. This driver decided to do a close pass "punishment pass" to show me her displeasure.

Thanks to the road marking I was able to prove she gave me approximately 30cm gap.
