Instead of the usual being cut up, pushed into the kerb etc etc, I had
the "pleasure" of an ignorant car driver who decided he needed to clean
his windscreen at the very instant I cam up behind in. The end result
was a nice faceful of chemicals. Obviously it would have been impossible
for him to wait an extra 10 seconds until I had passed because that
could be dangerous for him as it needed cleaning right there and then.

[censored] lane". The road was a single carriageway in each direction with no
junctions for about a quarter of a mile either in front or behind.
Puzzling...Sadly I couldn't think of a witty put-down at the time.

[censored].Last time this happened to me it was immediately a van overtook me
having had to slow for all of, oh, 25m. I remain utterly convinced
that it was not just coincidence that he had to wash the screen at
preceisely that moment.It was an AA van which I thought particularly apt.

A big smile and "ya ni ponimayu angliski yazik" can be quite amusing.

Perhaps he was referring to the pavement?
