Riding home along Atherton street Oakleigh I was coming up to a red traffic light and riding between the two lanes of cars, since all four cars in the left lane were indicating to turn left. As I drew level with the first car (red Holden Gemini, Victorian registration ###-###) the young female driver flicked about 1cm of ash off her cigarette and it fell straight onto my leg. I nearly ran into the side of the car, then turned around and asked “Do you have an ashtray?”, she was staring blankly ahead and ignoring me so I wheeled myself back level with the open window and asked again. She turned and said “Yes, so?” and as I said “Well don’t ash on my leg then!” she turned and drove off, as the light had just gone green. Judging from the blank look on her face I guess she still had no idea what she had done.
