Yet another "near miss" thread

[Krayy]

"I didn't see you".

That was the excuse this old frickin bastard in an MX-5 reckoned when he drove through the stop sign at the intersection halfway down my road as I was approaching it in the continuous lane. So I had to haul on the anchors damn hard, almost shit meself as it was seriously wet out there today, tooted and the prick drove on!! So I hauled her round and "zinged" (or should that be "zung") up behind him, following him as he turned down the next street on his merry way to the Pt Chev RSA.

He finally pulled over when I got up to his B pillar and uttered those words. Well I think he said them, as I couldn't hear him for my yelling at the asshole calling him a f*** c***, a blind c***, a dumb c*** (anyone see a pattern here?) and a dick!!

Loved my last line....."Tell my f***ing daughters how sorry you are as they lower me into a hole in the ground you f*** "

I shoulda found his car and let the tyres down :devil2:

Sounds like you showed him, good to see you've invited the bunny into your sig :D

"I didn't see you".:

Had that happen too. I prefer a good dose of heavy sarcasm delived in a measured "holier-than-thou" voice....particulaly for older drivers (a lot of them around where I live) They might expect to get sworn at, but they dont expect (or like) getting talked down to by a biker.

Cunts like this wouldn't tell your daughter. You're dead and it was your fault.

Had a lady, one of the new Kiwis covered in so much cloth she could not see to her side. Did not even bother to signal then changed lanes. Front wheel locked and I nearly went down. She got an earfull. Just gave me a blank look then turned away. These people look so down on us from on high they wont even apologise.

I've often thought about having a word to people who do dumb arse things like pull our in front of me or walk out in front of me but, I always feel like I'd be too flustered and my voice would be all trembly. The amount of near misses I've had around Wgtn cbd, including having a pedestrian just walk right out onto a crossing when I was about a meter away from it! :argh:

Btw - glad you're ok. :)

Ta muchly. I think the whole felings process went:

Panic - "Bloody hell this will hurt"

Relief - "Shit, I didn't think I could stop in time"

Astonishment - "Hey mister, where the f*** are you going"

Slight Anger - "What the....come back here asshole"

...a bit of angry riding (bad, I know)...

More anger - "Excuse me squire, but I can't help noticing that you made a slight mistake back there with your giving way" (or something to that general effect)

A bit more - "What do you mean `Didn't see me?`"

Full blown - "I don't give a monkey's mate. You should have given way back there etc..."

Slight grumbling (as I ride off) - "Fluffy Creatures would be appropriate right now (http://blue-networks.net/vids/fc.swf.php)"

Smugness - "Well I sure as hell told him"

Reflection - "Christ that was close. Where's the beer?"

Don't feel like you'd be all flustered if you confonted someone. This guy was not anything like apologetic towards me (well he didn't offer any cash, which is what I would have expected :niceone: ). Give the bastards a serve when they do wrong. Only way they'll learn.

Having checked my lexicon d'obscure, the correct term is "zang".

[What?]

calling him a f*** c***, a blind c***, a dumb c***
Cool - I can never work out how to pronounce those words, so tend to stick with the more traditional insults. Good on you for avoiding him.
