TWAT on Southern Motorway North bound..

[Brett]

Riding towards the city from Penrose today, was tootling along all happily till some asshole pulled out into my line. I braked the daylights out of my bike...nearly lost the front wheel but managed to unlock it and right it.

Bloody gave me the shits. As a compliment for the kind gesture...i lost my temper and punched his wing mirror...he got such a fright. You have to love carbon fibre knuckles...

Do you guys and gals suffer this sort of behavious often??

Such is life.
You will learn to anticipate and identify drivers such as this.
Fuckwits one and all.
Glad you managed to save it.

I must confess to putting my Steel Toed boots into a Tail light or two during my daily commutes around christchurch. Im fortunate enough to not have to Commute Around Auckland for Work, So not had that many "moments" with Auckland Drivers...

[justsomeguy]

Sheesh mate - thank God you're ok....

Effing bastards those blind fucks..... got nearly taken out as well on Sunday getting to the ride....

Someone please explain to these fucktards that over the shoulder checks and indicating should be performed before they change lanes and not when they are half in each lane........:oi-grr:

Auckland drivers leave me well enough alone for the most part when I'm up there. I just have a problem with the ones that have fancy lights on top.

Now if only the local breed were smart enough to know I wont take them creating an unneccesary risk of damage to my bike...

Here, here. Sound advice I see there....

Yeah that wing mirror trick works a treat. I did it a while ago and managed to spray wing mirror all over the highway. F..ing cage dweller tried to run me off the road before they lost their wing mirror. I got a letter last week from the cops asking me if I knew who was riding my bike at the time (was in May). Not sure what to do with this one? Any advice appreciated.

You could come clean and say it was you and face the (unfair) consequences or you could denial all knowledge but hide the fact that there was a good reason for your actions...
hmm,..I haven't helped you here,.. have I....

Try this; "That wanker nearly killed me! If I hadn’t pushed myself off the car I probably wouldn’t be here! Broke their mirror? Good fucking job! Hope the prick uses the next one he gets and saves a life!"
Cops will go back to the driver with this and ask some leading questions.
Its not like you can write down a rego number and go to them yourself is it?
Good luck!
I travel down the Southern and back (Manurewa-Auckland) every day, have about one a month on average.

I suggest you tell them his/her mirror was damaged when they veered into your lane without indicating or looking and collided with your bike. It was all you could do to keep control . . . etc. Paint them to be the villians they really are and dam the precise truth. :hitcher:

Absolutely. Bastard ran into you and you nearly crashed. I had one try that on me today, knew I was there and moved over anyway. I didn't do his wing mirror, just accelerated away. But I've done the odd mirror and will carry on. There are bastards on the motorway who will open the car door to try to catch you as you go past. Keep a clear head and use your acceleration to keep out of trouble. A GB500 will out-accelerate a Ferrari to 100kph, and nearly every bike's faster than that.

[tracyprier]

I've found the old thump-the-drivers-window very effective...and leaves no evidence, well prehaps some soiled undies for the cage-dweller.

Hey MyVice, I'm Manukau to CBD. We probably pass each other :) I'm on the black and white Beemer 1100.

Actually, since being on that I've found far less CD's (cage dwellers) cutting me off etc.
