As a follow up thread to Maniac Drivers I want to talk about Maniac Cyclists.

Earlier I turned left into Tesco in Gerrards Cross from Packhorse Road and then slowly swung around (almost U-turning) to enter into the 'drop off' layby area outside the strore.  There are no markings to suggest the drop off area should be approached from the car park.  ie I believe I was performing a lawful maneouvre.  During the u-turn I noted a young lady cyclist riding the wrong way down the 'drop off' area layby and approaching me from the right hand side.  I therefore stopped without completeing the U turn so the lady could simply pass unhindered in front of me and not getting hit by me.

As she rode past, she called out "you didn't see me did you".

I did in fact see the lady and stopped accordingly and if I not have been looking out for her, I would have 'seen her' as I drove into her possibly breaking her left leg.  Additionally,  after lecturing me she continued riding the incorrect way down the drop off point and also then rode across the 'stripes' (ie the pedestrian part) of the zebra crossing 50m east of the drop off circle and then up the path into Station Road Car Park!!!
