Pulled up on the bike lane, on double yellow lines, and blocking the entrance to a car park , the van driver in this clip forces road.cc reader Pete out of his lane and almost into the path of a passing motorist. “He then had the cheek to say ‘careful lad’ to me as I passed him, as if I was in the wrong,” Pete tell us.
