Whether it's an effect of the clocks going back and hour last weekend or just the effect of a rainy gloomy day in Bristol, for some reason in the space of about 5 minutes I had 'em all coming at me.
Red light jumpers, jay walkers, a broken down van in offside lane and to cap it all an indecisive motorist who wasn't quite sure which lane he wanted...or even which direction he wanted to travel!

Fortunately, the impact was slow and I didn't come off (benefit of having a foot on the ground and both front and rear brakes applied) and no damage was done. What an eejit! At least he got out, checked there was no damage and apologised before moving off again.
Just as well really - checking on line shows that he had no road tax and no MoT...and I suspect no UK licence (judging by his accent - he wasn't from around these parts) or insurance (but I can't prove that).
Days like this are exactly why I invested in a camera for the bike!
