Ah, the dreaded Voodoo Cyclist Andy!
They view any overt attempt at communication as aggessive (whether it is or not) and use that (assumed) negative energy to invoke gremlins to attack your vehicle and/or you.
They should never be trusted and certainly never communicated with!
I thought it was just me and i'd been unlucky having encountered a one-off Voodoo Cyclist but you are the latest in a long line of many that has confirmed similar experiences. Last one i encountered caused the output cable from the alternator to break away from the crimp terminal on the back of the alternator on my last 740GLE. Late at night (~2330 hrs), car trailer on the back with a Rover 827 Coupe on it and the headlights start getting dim about 6 miles from home. They'd not been right for a while by then but with the lighting on the motorway/dual carriageway and lighting from others on the A roads it hadn't really been noticeable.
A USA spec car pulled out of the road i was going to turn into soon and his left-hand-drive headlamps dazzled me so i touched the brakes to reduce my speed so i could see enough of the road to continue safely. That was enough to stop the fuel pumps which killed the engine and i coasted into a lay-by.
After a very long day (and
only vaguely remembering the cyclist on the roundabout in Milton Keynes that had cut me up) i didn't think of the obvious but my passenger did - swap the battery from the Coupe into the 745 and get home that way.
Meanwhile that cyclist in MK thought he got one over on me!
