Anxiety after road incident?

Anonymous

Hi everyone,

I had an incident today that has really shaken me and it keeps replaying in over and over in my head. I was leaving a shopping car park today and I approached a tiny roundabout, it’s the type of roundabout that diverts traffic to and from the petrol station and to the main shop. The speed limit is 10mph. I was approaching the roundabout and I could see the biker on my left, he hadn’t approached the roundabout yet because he had only just came around the ramp to exist the petrol station so he hadn’t approached the roundabout yet. So I went because I had time, again it’s a very small roundabout so we’re doing 5mp the most and he’s most likely doing less because he has traffic approaching on his left so he speeds out behind me.

Then he starts beeping at me so I ignored him and continued on to the next roundabout which was only just a few seconds away from the one I had just exited. He then speeds around me and cuts me up and stops right in front of my car so I have to break to stop myself from hitting him. He started waving his arms at me so I pointed forwards to tell him to go because I thought that was what he wanted. But then he tells me to pull up next to him so I do and he tells me to roll down the window and he starts yelling at me. He’s saying that I just pulled out in front of him so I told him that I could see him and I said that that he hadn’t approached the roundabout yet and I was already on the roundabout before he had reached it.

I honestly blanked the rest because I was scared as hell. He’s on this huge bike, twice my size and dressed head to toe in black, my grandmother is next to me as well. He then told me that people like me are the reason bikers are killed and that comment has not left me alone.
