Waited to turn left at the red traffic lights this morning. Lights changed to green, I set off. Cyclist comes bombing down the hill towards his red lights, carries on at full speed, spots me and the car behind turning across in front of him, big squeal of his tyres and swerves onto the other side of the road - fortunately no cars there. As he recovers and comes back onto the correct side of the road I turned to him and said "You went through a red light" His reply?

Proof you do not need a car to be a pillock on the road.

I have found that "[censored] Head" is perfect for situations like this. It's a great put down which isn't so offensive that it gets you into fights and can be used towards both men and women and is quite hard to reply back to.
"You went through a red light" "Sorry mate I didn't see them" "You [censored] Head!"

Perhaps he wasn't looking for them. Most cyclists that I see in town seem to think red lights are not for them. They even give me a funny look because I am waiting at the red light. Frankly, I find most cyclists quite careless when you consider how vulnerable they actually are in traffic.
