OK, I know its Friday and most people are looking forward to the weekend. Why does this make hill starts so hard. Nearly been rolled into 5 times today, is there a strange illness afflicting the van drivers of London? Yes, all vans! 
People tend to be a bit lacksadaisical because they don’t know you’re there; either they can’t see you in their mirrors or they haven’t bothered to look.And unless you get yourself a pair of Stebel Magnum horns, they probably won’t hear you either if you try to hoot them.
Simple solution: get a pair of Stebels, and don’t be afraid to use them 
Ipoditis or blue teeth.
Most likely they’re checking you out intheir rear-view mirror and lose concentration.
it must be friday. On the ride this morning, one guy broke a red light and missed me by inches because he was texting.
and I missed a cyclist by about two feet as she decided to break the next set of red lights
If they havent got any rear windows then they haven’t got rear view mirrors, only door mirrors, they wont see you. And the handbrake probably dont work. As I am a white Transit van man in my spare time :D, I can wholeheartedly recommend that you keep well away from the bstards at all costs, cos anything can happen :w00t: Keep back or to one side.

get a loud pipe
Thanks for the tips guys. Martin, the vans attacked me on the way to getting my bike serviced. Had an Akrapovic fitted. It didn’t happen on the way back, mind I kept to one side and they must have heard me. 
Cant roll into you unless your too close 
or are you saying that they rolled back a silly amount?
All ways keep in veiw of their mrrors, if you can see them they can see you. ( yes i kow its an old saying:)) I’ll never by a white van again!! every one hates us:(
Mel, they rolled back 1.5-2 meters!
Then that is a stupid amount… Muppets!!! Glad you didnt get squished… every right to be angry
