Today this cyclist was in my car because it was suitable for the journey

stop start queue when a non-cylist in a panzer suddenly barged out of a
driveway causing a woman with a pushchair to take a step back and then
blocked the pavement. Luckily it wasn't an elderly pedestrian that could
have fallen backwards - like my mother-in-law a few years ago. (Oh, hang
on, it is supposed to be impossible for licenced, registered, taxed and
insured non-cyclists to do this. But if it turns out to be not
impossible, being licenced, registered, taxed and insured somehow makes
it alright.)

Anyway, rather than opening a gap to let the non-cyclist out, as usual
courtesy in a queue, this cyclist moved forward with the queue to block
her way. I felt no need to use my horn to scream at the non-cyclist,
because the ears of the woman and child were not protected by layers of
German steel andinsulation. Said non-cyclist then reversed back to let
the woman past.

It's always good to upset a non-cyclist without consuming any of my own
time over it.

Vehicles entering and exiting driveways have priority* over traffic
crossing the entrances to those driveways.

You knew that but chose to ignore it when making up your story.

[* Those moving in and out of driveways nevertheless usually choose not
to assert their priority, but that does not diminish their right to do
so if they feel like.]
