I was driving in north London yesterday afternoon by myself. It was a bit stuffy in my car so I opened my window. It was a two lane road and very shortly after, two men drove by in a white van and started cat calling me. They asked me lots of questions to which I didn’t reply but it made me feel very nervous. I did my best to drive carefully and as the lane merged into one, I thought I had been successful in getting away from them. However, shortly after the lanes became two again and somehow they were right beside me again. Although all my windows were now up, they made me feel terribly anxious as they were shouting out and me and laughing. It was such an uncomfortable experience for me that it has given me anxiety.
