Not my day today. Five minutes from home on my bike and a car pulled out on me and flipped ME the bird...confused me that one did. I might snap at the next thing a la 'me, myself and Irene'.

It's the law - if someone pulls out on you you're the one to blame for either being there or for not realising what they were going to do.

The guy was merely displaying a positive mental outlook, indicating that he feels that he is "Number 1"....kudos to him.
Wave happily to him....it'll piss him off even more.

Pricks who pull over to the left hand lane next to the exit from a slip road.
I was joining a main road when this muppet in the right hand lane decides to move over to the left, in the same spot I was in having just left the slip road. Dickhead only saw me when I accelerated and went past him on the nearside.

They all like to do 56mph.
Funny how they don't get out of your way when you want to do more than 56mph

Slow down to 47. Thats what i love doing when being tailgated. Slowly keep slowing down to about 5mph below the limit. Enough to just piss them off

52mph on most cars I've driven is actually 50mph according to my GPS but yes, they're stupid peoplePerkles wrote:lorry drivers that drive an 1" off your bumper flashing their lights in a 50 mph restricted contra flow on the motorway just because your not doing 52 mph

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I had a lorry do that to me, so I kept slowing down to 40 and every time he pulled out to overtake speeded up again.Cav wrote:52mph on most cars I've driven is actually 50mph according to my GPS but yes, they're stupid peoplePerkles wrote:lorry drivers that drive an 1" off your bumper flashing their lights in a 50 mph restricted contra flow on the motorway just because your not doing 52 mph
Fairly certain I enjoyed it a lot more than he did.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
It is okay to slow down so long as, when questioned, you state that with the vehicle travelling that close to you it was unsafe to continue at that speed. When the lorry pulls out he is no longer behind you therefore you resume your previous speed

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I had a double trailer truck right up my arse one day as I was getting onto a 270 deg on ramp. I was doing 20 km over the limit and he was still grill to my bumper. I've got my truck Licence and am very aware what it's like to have to come up thru' the gears. So I carefully slowed him down to approx 20-30 km's by the time we got to the motorway entry, flipped him the bird then buggered off leaving him to struggle back to speed.
Very childish of me but so satisfying.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
On the driving theme, others who cannot control their car in terms of actually staying in their lane, either in a straight line or going around corners, I am sick of these twats making me avoid them because they cross into my lane on bends, and as I said even I a straight line today on 3 occasions, do people not know how big their car is?
I really need to get myself something to record all this stuff, it beggars belief !
Oh yeah and tail gaters, had that a lot today, sigh! Oh and those muppets who think it's fine to drive everywhere at 40 regardless of the actual speed limit, oh and those f@&#wits who drive like miss daisy on the 25 until they finally move over and speed up to 100 mph! Really you stupid retard! .........
And breath! Ha ha ha on the plud side found a great road, just wished I was on the bike, B1022 Colchester to Maldon, could see some serious fun on that road, bar the muppets who can't take the bends

Most people who lane drift are usually on their mobile phone

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
People who see you eating or on your phone while on your break and yet they insist on talking to you even if you make it pretty clear you need a rest from everything and de stress...what is wrong with some people if I see them relaxing let them be! I have got to be on point all day and when I get on break I make it my time!! [GRIMACING FACE]
