Gah, inconsiderate drivers really get my goat.
even more so, when, lets just say, certain drivers, seem to want to crash into me head on when I am filtering through a line of traffic jam.
an example, today, going to work, noticed there was a long jam up to a set of traffic lights (was work going on, on the lights) so I was filtering pretty much dead on the white line, and this landy driver, who was driving with about 2 foot off the white line, then, after seeing me filtering (100% legal on a bike) deliberatly try to push me into the stopped cars by driving on the white line.
why do that, If he were to have hit me, it would be more than manslaughter, it would me attempted murder IF I didnt die from it.
i hate that mate, and i usally cut them up for it tooIs it the time of year or what? I stopped a few times today to let drivers through and not one of them even thanked me. People are just getting so rude. Are you a rude driver? Do you think its cos its winter or are people all depressed cos of the recession?
I find mornings are the worst time for this. It does annoy me and I think that Taxi drivers are the worst of the bunch.
The most courteous drivers are HGV drivers who always thank me if I let them in/out or hang back at a junction to allow them to turn.
White van man is extremely courteous if the name and contact details of his business/employer are signwritten on the vehicle!!
you right. thats because next to no one lets them through, father in laws one and been out with him a couple of times and the amount that push their way through rather than just slow down and let the wagon throghThe most courteous drivers are HGV drivers who always thank me if I let them in/out or hang back at a junction to allow them to turn.
That's bloody rich, given how inobservant most car drivers are. Bikers are amongst the finest and most perceptive road users of all.
