What a cock

[Dave-]

rocked up at one of the lights on Fitzgerald (it's a 3 lane road) just now, I idled up between 2 cars to the front, plenty of room, the lights turn green and I give the usual oomf to get away from the perceived carnage behind me.

I notice as I pull away the cage to my left has kept pace, his front starts slipping towards me so I boost it to get out of the way, he didn't indicate I thought this guy wasn't paying attention or something, but then he slips right over to my right hand side and hoofs it up my right side, cuts me off, jams on his brakes and cuts back into the lane he was in before.

i stop chanting some music and say "fuck", so i keep my eye on this guy, rego was ASJ352 (i cant remember the 3 alphabetical letters, numbers are right but there was definitely a J) eventually traffic gods see fit for me to come up on his left, as I'm riding along the guy makes a swerve at me, I'm level with the driver so i kind of look in to see if he's on the phone or getting head or something, he swerves again....fuck this guys insane....I'm outta here a gap opens up in front of me so i boost it before he actually hits and he turns off at the next lights.

I thought back to that thread where someone chased the guy and found him picking up his Russian girlfriend and going to lunch...but this guy was gonna knock me off if I'd stuck there for another second...

actually now the initial shock has worn off I should've followed him, not like I've got anything to do this evening and a high speed chase could've been a bit of sport on what's been a pretty mundane day.

[KiwiRat]

What a complete and utter fucking tool bag.

An absolute toilet bowl of a human being.

His cock must be really small for him to be so jealous of you getting to the head of HIS queue.

Glad he didn't get ya by the way.

[cs363]

Yes, sounds like an obvious case of penile deficiency - or perhaps one of that nutter Anthony Dixon's relatives?

[pzkpfw]

Any other details on the car? Some folk here may be able to confirm the rgo.

[Mom]

Burn him I reckon!

Now you have posted his rego others may be tempted to do the same.

Dont complain on here mate, take it to the cops.

Seriously if it was that bad, lay a formal complaint! Sometimes a reminder from officialdom will increase a car drivers ability to see bikers, and reason!

[P38]

Glad you weren't hurt.

Best not to play chicken with fuckwits like that mate.

Ultimately it a loosing end game thats will always end in tears.

Car Vs bike = Bike always looses.

Best thing is click it down a gear and blow on by or back off an let em go.

You'll live longer that way, believe me.

[dangerous]

Welcome to the streets of chch Dave.

If ASJ352 is the number then its a blue VX Holden REG but NO WOF

[I'm motarded]

shit you are lucky he didnt hit you. he sounds like a right muppet,

[fireliv]

Dave go to the Police web site and lay a complaint about the driver through there. Thats really not on, what a faggot!

[gunrunner]

He probably lives with his mum:argh:

[vtec]

Man, sounds similar to some bastard that tried to hit me on my bicycle over here in Melbourne. I had held onto his rear wing from some lights cause we were about to go up a hill, and he just went ballistic. First of all planted it, but I can hold on to turbos at full throttle, so then he jumped on the brakes, and then swerved at me as he passed yelling obscenities. I smiled and waved as usual. Caught up to him at another set of lights just as he was taking off, and held on again ahhaha. He jumped on the brakes again, and then had a proper go swerving at me to the point where I nearly had to jump the kerb to avoid him. People going the other way saw and were flashing their lights at him. Then at another set of lights further up ahead, I decided to have a word with him.

Tap tap tap on his passenger window. His girlfriend in the passenger seat was shitting herself. He was undoing his seatbelt to get out and fight me. I just asked him what his problem was, and he piped up something about it not being cool to hold onto someone's car. I told him I do it all the time, and that it beats pedalling and laughed. Then I asked him if he thought he was making his girlfriend proud by trying to kill a cyclist. He said he wasn't doing it for her, then I said "good because it was fucking stupid, get off the drugs or chill the fuck out" then I cycled off. Next time he passed me gave me a wide berth... no tooting or swearing or swerving to kill me. Cyclist 1, Cars 1,000,000 approx.

I suppose it's a bit different cause I was sketching and you were splitting but the old swerve at the two wheels is the same.

[Swoop]

Car Vs bike = Bike always looses.
:scratch: Not necessarily...

[Mully]

It's amazing how many cagers dislike filtering. I do this most evenings up Nelson St to the motorway. Most people make room, but the odd one tries to block and then once you are past, tailgates you.

Simply amazing. I think it's because you are getting home quicker. And having a lot more fun doing it.

[imdying]

Recount of extreme gheynessGo see the filth tomorrow dude.

but the odd one tries to block and then once you are pastRace rear sets with fixed pegs and/or the best reason to keep factory cans... they fuck door panels.

[BiK3RChiK]

The Police do not need the whole number plate... just most of it. As long as you know the make/model. Report it. What a tosser.

[Dave-]

crap....lost my post when firefox decided to crash...

ah it was a station wagon, possibly subaru, dark blue, pretty average looking, mid 90s?

I really cant remember the number I thought JDK352 but there arent any JDK iirc

the thing is I wasnt really in his lane, the gap between the cars was massive, and my wheels were actually in the other lane, I had no intention of using his lane (not that he's to know that) but i managed to leave the other cars behind so all they had to do was accelerate like normal really.

if i remember his rego I'll make a complaint but i was so busy thinking of his rego on the way home that i kind of forgot it? like i started rhyming it chanting it in my head until I could scribble it down then I pulled onto durham north and thought "shit...ASJ? JAS? AJS? JFK? kennedy? fuck"

[Subike]

Go and lay a complaint .
You may not have the complete reg number, but if this guy has done it to you, he may have done it before to others, or will do it again.
With your complaint and discription, the police have reason to pull a vehicle matching your discription if it is seen acting in a stupid manor.
You remembering the numbers might even coincide with somebody elses complaint who remebered the letters from a similar incident.
Sad when peoples egos get the better of their self control.
Glad to know you got home in one piece.

[Mikkel]

Sounds like an idiot with a P-craving... Main thing is you didn't get hit!

Go talk to the fuzz tomorrow regardless of how much of the plate you can recall. Just give them the information you have and hope for the best.

I've never had anyone act that dangerously around me - but I have had the odd plonker who thought it would be cool to see if they could match the bike for acceleration... That and the dorks who start creeping forwards so they are alongside you before the lights turn green - stupid and pointless.

[dangerous]

the thing is I wasnt really in his lane,
But ya wernt in your lane either, simple DONT lane split.
ASJ? JAS? AJS? JFK... a nissin pulsar in silver or another Holden, the other 2 dont exist

Did you manage to get his wing mirror?

Don't complain on here mate, take it to the cops.

Damn straight, he is lucky he picked on you Dave, you are obviously far too nice to do what you should of done. Fuck that for a joke, at MINIMUM he needs a visit from the 5-0

Hey just keep your eye open He will be around again, let the plod know, thats what *555 is about.
though on the other side of the coin there was a couple of guys who had an old Valiant, that was slightly reinforced, they would follow an idiot like that and then figure out where he lived, then go get the Valiant, and give his car a little nudge in the middle of the night. not that I recomend that as a course of action.

What he sez

You need more than you have number-wise if you expect the cops to do anything - and despite you impression it is not a 'serious' issue to most cops, nobody was hurt, no property damaged, a "Failed to Drive Within the Lane" type ticket most likely.

IF you do see it again and get the number you could call into the cop-shop and make a complaint - and then keep chasing it up, however it's a bit of a bun-fight looming I suspect as it's word-against-word unless you can find a witness..

[Dave-]

i thought about taking his mirror, but at that stage he'd only done his wee over takey thing, when he swerved at me I knew he was serious and bugged out.

if id tried to get his mirror and he'd swerved like he did I might've got knocked off anyway, so i think the get-the-fuck-out was a good choice.

wasn't until I was down the road that i noticed i was shaking a bit...good ol' adrenalin.

The only three things you will achieve by intentionally taking off someones wing mirror:

1. Piss them off - they are not going to go home and cry about it, they are more likely to try and run you over again.
2. Put yourself even further in harms way.
3. Most likely reinforce any observers opinion that bikers have it coming.

... stupid, not worth it, don't do it - simple really. Now, if you instead find out where the idiot lives and do something proper about it - that is an entirely different matter.

Also, not all wing mirrors are created equal - a shitty punch can fuck your hand/wrist and/or cause you to fall off your bike.

cheah

that's what i was thinking knowing my rotten luck it'll be a reinforced wing mirror that'll bite back, ill break my hand, fall off the bike, scuff the bike up, and maybe go under his wheel...pass

[AllanB]

The streets down here are mean.

Full of arses & agro buggers with little respect for anyone else on the road.

I drive my car to work. If I sit on the legal limit bastards tailgate or sound their horns at me. If I'm piddling along in traffic and let someone in often the vehicle behind me will tailgate, wave fists and sound the horn.

Keep well away from any Skyline - there's a 95% chance it will be travelling sideways within the next 2kms. Ditto any old crapped out piece of shit driven by a male wearing a beanie or a cap.

There's a shit load of mufti vans with speed cameras hidden in the back pinging you if you are doing 55.

But if you do get a ticket rest assured that the payment will go directly towards making our roads safer........

Consider yourself lucky and flag the lane splitting.

[Boob Johnson]

Ok so humour me for a moment & assume there are witnesses. One could draw a few other scenarios where an object is used "with intent to injure".

Was new to living in Auckland back in 1992, wasn't really into bikes at that stage, sitting in traffic on Queen st, a biker splits us to the front where he promptly nuts off at the driver at the front of the cue yelling "IF YOU DONT USE IT YOU DON'T NEED IT" & then kicks his wing mirror off. I remember sitting there thinking to myself, "well he must of done something pretty bad to piss him off so much". Not once did I think badly about bikers. Would have to be a pretty small minded person to actually think ALL of a cross section of society were "bad" from witnessing one particular person. Tis one of the flaws with Katmans rantings, he assumes ALL bikers are being branded with the same brush if a biker is seen doing something silly. One hell of an assumption :wacko:

[Boob Johnson]

Don't lane split because the 1% of morons out there don't like it?



Check up from the neck up

[owner]

If your good just put your foot out and swerve at him then boot , Im amazed at how much damage you can do. I've been practicing :lol: swerve ...boot! its all in the timing. It just takes practise (and a lack of a number plate)
Ps At over 120kmhr be a bit careful

[Dave-]

damage? to who?

[xwhatsit]

Also, not all wing mirrors are created equal - a shitty punch can fuck your hand/wrist and/or cause you to fall off your bike.
The trick is to punch the mirror downwards. Picture a Viking pounding on the bar for another beer.

I'm pretty relaxed about that kind of thing -- let him scream off in a cloud of tyre smoke, I just continue to merrily pootle along my way with a vague smile on my face. If the numpty insists on staying behind you, tailgaiting and weaving around, find some traffic and stuff yourself down between the lanes.

I do enjoy playing at complete ignorance; sit next to some loud fast car revving its engine, light goes green, gently ease off (not looking at him once) and leave the guy behind. Few seconds later once you're up to the 50kph limit he comes screaming by at 70kph+. Don't look at him!. Pulls in front of you into your lane, joins the traffic queue at the next lights. Completely ignoring him, you dawdle back past him between the lanes at walking pace. So satisfying! :laugh:

[Patch]

If you're one of these two wheeled clowns who splits all the way to the front of the lights, give way and then pulls in front of the 'first car in line' at some queer angle, WTF do you expect him to do?

What gives you the right to jump the queue??


I've seen plenty of these two-wheeled clowns wanting to be first only to be 'almost collected' by some dick running the red light.


If you split the queue, sit one or two cars back from the front, people don't get shitty, you're not sitting in the pedestrian crossing and you don't run the risk of being hit by a red light runner.


And yes, I've been one of those driver's who has almost or nearly hit one of these two-wheeled fuckwits. What do they expect when they insist on driving up the inside of my truck (stopping beside me where I can't see them) and I'm indicating to turn left.

Most of these clowns/dangerous little shits I have witnessed have been ridng 2 fiddys or scooters. Go figure. Some of these clowns do manage (somehow) to make it to a bigger bike, tho there dangerous habits do not change.


If you put yourself in a dangerous position then you must be prepared to deal with the consequences.

I can guarantee that it was a Legacy wagon.

For reasons I don't entirely understand, the Legacy is the car of choice for fuckwits.

[insomnia01]

I've been in a very similar situation where a driver cut me off not once but 3 times !!! I thought " &UCK YOU gun slinger" & then the hunter became the the hunted. I followed him for a few kms doing no crazy shit just sitting there freaked the shit out of him & then reported him to the cops for reckless driving, don't no if he was fined or not but he got my point.

[JMemonic]

Bleeding heck hasn't this brought out a couple of rants.

For those who don't know Fitzgerald ave is one of the roads that the silly council messed with the lights with to slow the "boy racers" down on, no green wave on this road, actually there are some (most) one way roads here that don't seem to follow that principle any more.

The combination of this and the inclement weather I guess could piss some folks off, however there seems to be a select few that consider the fact a bike can (even if it doesn't) lane split as a requirement consider it as a target and more so on a grey day where the hormone levels are a little off and their meds are not working any little thing will set them off and a guy on a bike that

a) can get through the traffic
b) be used as a source of fun
c) is different to a car therefore the owner is different (xenophobia)
d) has no physical barrier to them inflicting pain, injury, or damage to the rider.

is a prime target to take out their frustrations on, hell Dave might not have had to lane split to set this clown off, he might have just been an aggressive idiot have a bad day who saw a motorcycle and thought that will be fun to harass the rider, even funnier if he/she can cause injury.

Hell not so long ago I posted this (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1634914&postcount=45), I now suspect it had more to do with the little precipitation having the above mentioned affects.

Scumdog pointed out the issue with passing on the info to the police, basicly they have no show of proving anything, and I guess here also a lack of resources to put into any sort of investigation, however would be nice if someone has the correct details a letter could be sent stating we have had a complaint of your actions and although are not at this time pursuing the matter we will not this on your driving record, if they get enough complaints, or the person is involved in an accident, then perhaps this history could be useful.

Oh, for the most part I agree. But Boob - you're a special breed... after all you came around to the dark side eventually :niceone:

I'm pretty sure that the average conservative middleaged Christchurch lady is not going to give the black clad hoon on a dangerous motorcycle the benefit of the doubt.

I do kinda agree with the "IF YOU DON'T USE IT, YOU DON'T NEED IT" - because, actually they do - no WOF without it so they'll get some time to think about it. There's a difference between being oblivious to your surroundings and being directly aggressive to your fellow motorists. My point is just - if someone is already giving you agro I'm sure taking off their wing-mirror is only going to escalate the conflict.


I do enjoy playing at complete ignorance; sit next to some loud fast car revving its engine, light goes green, gently ease off (not looking at him once) and leave the guy behind.

Yep - that's the way to do it. I usually don't waste time or attention on acknowledging car's presence unless they go out of their way to make my day easier (i.e. keep left in their lane or making the gap down the middle bigger when they see me - and that happens more often than the negative stuff :yes:).


What gives you the right to jump the queue??

Actually the law gives you the right.
The bike gives you the ability.
And common sense gives you the moral obligation.

Even a semi-competent motorcyclist who lane splits is not going to hold anyone back and will take up less space in the scheme of things than a motorcyclist who insists on playing car.

If plod sees you splitting, they can and will ticket you for unsafe lane changing, failing to indicate etc etc.

Hardly a right now is it??


If you are splitting, there is no need to park in front of the first car. Like I see most fuckwits do. It only aggravates people as you are encroaching their space. Same thing you feel when someone buzzes past you reasonably close.
Why anyone on a bike wants to be first off the mark is beyond me, especially as people do run lights. It is only prudent to wait a couple cars, cross intersection safely then pass the 2-3 cars that were in front of you with a clear road now in front.

But hey, wtf do I know?


Common sense is not common at all.

Seriously if it was that bad, lay a formal complaint! Sometimes a reminder from officialdom will increase a car drivers ability to see bikers, and reason!

Absolutely! The more official traffic complaints on file the better!!

When this dick gets pulled over a good cop will check what he is known for - if there are lots of complaints/tickets then he will be given a harsh treatment because he clearly is too thick to learn his lesson.

What part of semi-competent did you not get? Semi-competent means being able to accelerate away smoothly and rapidly without stalling... It's easy on a motorcycle.

Depends, you can lanesplit without breaking the rules and then it is potentially harrasment if an officer pulls you over, and even more so if he gives you a ticket.

You are allowed to pass any vehicle - stationary or moving on its right-hand side provided you stay within your lane.
You are allowed to pass any vehicle which is stationary or indicating to turn right on its left-hand side provided you stay within your lane.
There are grey areas - e.g. travelling half the length of a moving vehicle on its right-hand side inside the same lane while indicating - then travelling the other half of its length in the left-hand lane. (and the opposite scenario is of course the same)
Dark grey areas includes using bikelanes, service stations, sidewalks, etc. to increase your average speed from A to B.

So yes, if I play by the rules it's my right - or priviledge, call it what you want but it's nonetheless the reason I enjoy taking the bike to work.


If you are splitting, there is no need to park in front of the first car. Like I see most fuckwits do. It only aggravates people as you are encroaching their space. Same thing you feel when someone buzzes past you reasonably close.
Why anyone on a bike wants to be first off the mark is beyond me, especially as people do run lights. It is only prudent to wait a couple cars, cross intersection safely then pass the 2-3 cars that were in front of you with a clear road now in front.

When I split to the front (down the middle of course) and sit between two cars - about 95% of the time I have time to check both sides carefully and take off before either of the vehicles next to me have even started moving.

I really can't see the problem.

It most certainly isn't. But neither is competence and efficiency.

If you're one of these two wheeled clowns who splits all the way to the front of the lights, give way and then pulls in front of the 'first car in line' at some queer angle, WTF do you expect him to do?

Your kidding, aren't you?

[Dave-]

I accelerated away smoothly (and fuckin' carefully, it was wet and my rear lit up changing up to second when i left home a few hours earlier)

I think this guy was probably just having a shitty day and was looking for someone to take it out on, the motorcyclist right there looks like fair game why not give him a wind up?

I've been keeping an eye out for him, although will some half million odd cars in chch that might be fun.

I also remembered he had 2 wee blue lights on the front of his car, the wee boy racer type ones by the headlights...

[phoenixgtr]

This problem is exactly why ICON made the titanium glove a few years back.


Titanium toe sliders do a pretty good job too. A couple of years back I had a van almost take me out when they swerved into the lane I was in, in a 100km/h zone. They ended up with a nice big scratch down their van

Looking at the tags that have been attached to this thread theres obvoiusly a fair few cocks on this forum. I don't care who you are, you don't try to run someone off the road just cause they annoyed you. Grow up.

[Dave-]

yeah I noticed the tags

I'm not crying, it's more of a "holy shit guess what happened to me!" thread.

I thought the idea of being a biker was to not be at fault, an at fault rider is usually pretty dead.

and the northerner can fuck off, I was born in auckland. (whoa the truth comes out)

But hey, wtf do I know?
Common sense is not common at all.
I should just do what one of my sons does when I'm whingeing, and just say "Waah." But your vision of reality is so far off, I feel compelled to respond, and I'll explain it to you, even though you seem like a very angry, unpleasant little man, with some "issues".
Common sense? Well, it's good common sense to pull to the front of a line of traffic - it means the person at the front can see you, and is unlikely to bump you if you're instead sitting between the cars. Bikers split to the front because even accelerating gently, they can accelerate MUCH faster than cars. It's also because they then don't have to breathe in all the fumes of all the vehicles in front of them taking off. (Well, that's why I do it, at least). It's also safer than "waiting a couple cars" and passing the "2-3 cars that were in front of you". Makes more sense too - if you're out the front, there's no need to accelerate past, break the speed limit, or any of that.
As for "aggravating people as your encroach upon their space" - I think you mean, "aggravating people who have manhood/mental issues and don't like other people passing them". Let me guess - when people pass you on the open road, you feel slighted, and speed up? You sound like that sort of aggro person to me.

If I park at "some queer" angle at the front, it's usually because I don't have sufficient space to straighten the bike up, usually becuase the car at the front has stopped well over the line. I'd rather not, and sometimes I just park between the lanes, but (IMH) it's more dangerous.

Get over yourself, Dude! This is a BIKER forum - most of the bikers in here do things like lanesplit. Some of them are real cocks when they do so, but most do it in a safe, considerate manner. It might make you extremely angry when people lanesplit past you, but get this: unless they bump/scratch your car, or stall in front of you, they are not affecting you or impeding you in the slightest, as the chances are they'll be gone before you've started to let the clutch out. Shut your eyes if it offends you.

Ha ha that sounds like every male I've ever meet, myself included, apart from the two queereyes around Tekapo last summer who insisted at travelling at 70ks per ... I suspect they were doing their makeup in the mirror.


I like it when you are on the open road tooling along safely behind a few cars who are do 95 ish. This goes on for a few kms until you safely pass.
Then they use you as a pacecar and are suddenly happy following along behind you at your chosen, somewhat faster speed. This normally stops once use hit a set of twisties.

[Boob Johnson]

Dont complain on here mate, take it to the cops.

Seriously if it was that bad, lay a formal complaint! Sometimes a reminder from officialdom will increase a car drivers ability to see bikers, and reason!

What mom said,Needs to learn this kind of behaviour is unacceptable.

Good one Vifferdork, reality huh, you are soooo way fuckin off base.

Reading your post you assume I don't own/ride or split on a bike.

As for your justification on being in front so as not to breathe in fumes, you ain't gonna breathe in anymore "fumes" than the next car in line with there window down. No need to pull in front just to let the driver know you are there - you ain't fuckin royalty.



Is this a forum for plebs on bikes . . . no . . . really . . . shit, you don't say . . .

Oi, what's wrong with mums!! (Refers to earlier post, not yours, i haven't read all the posts on this thread). And most of us mums would be more likely to kick our offspring up their selfish brainless @rses if we knew they were acting like the dickhead in the OP. So as for shagging....... puhleeeeeease!
p.s. at least we don't have a total monopoly on shit-for-brains motorists here in Dorkland.

[rustycharm]

Wow... some serious sentiment goin on here...
Given the amount of time I've spent on the road over the years in both cars and on bikes.. its an easy equation.

1.Someones cat will always piss in their weetbix and they won't find out till its too late
2. They'll spend the rest of the day taking the bad taste in their mouth out on everyone else
3. Its just traffic ... get over it
4. Knowing without a shadow of a doubt that the twat in the car is a Fu$ked up twizzle dick that was breastfed until he was 22 and still wets the bed is far more satisfying than paying medical and Paint & Panel bills.
5.I'd rather keep pricks like that in front of me until I know i've got a good clear run.

I had held onto his rear wing

Someone elses car is not yours to touch. Mind if I want to get home quicker and take your bike? I'll bring it back, honest. I like it when motorbikes filter, makes me feel good and I always make more room for them, cyclists.. not so much, but I've never had one touch my car.

[ducatilover]

i dont have patience for dickheads endangering me. i can kick the fuck out of their cars at the lights if they do nudge me in palmy, and sadly ive been nudged a few times and i will move over for big man to get past but if he wants to hurt my baby i will bury my steel toe in his:Oi::2thumbsup

[toyboy]

Being a car driver most of my life i've always given lots of room to bikes (always got the thought it my head that cops will always think its the cars fault if a biker gets hurt even if he falls off in front of my car)
But having just gotten a bike and some carbon reinforced nuckle gloves I now know another reason not to take on a biker :) Its great being able to punch anthing solid and not feel anything on your fist :) Wonder how easy it would be to punch out a driver window if they dont move over? :)

[Mikkel]

It sounds like you're an angry man... The smiley faces doesn't fit the image though.

Regarding the driver window - I suggest you go test it out. Be prepared to be surprised though - unless you have hardened steel crests on your knuckles I believe you shall break your hand and/or your wrist before the window.
Oh, and if you intentionally damage another persons property be prepared to get your arse kicked or dragged to court.

[mouldy]

The trick is to punch the mirror downwards. Picture a Viking pounding on the bar for another beer.

I'm pretty relaxed about that kind of thing -- let him scream off in a cloud of tyre smoke, I just continue to merrily pootle along my way with a vague smile on my face. If the numpty insists on staying behind you, tailgaiting and weaving around, find some traffic and stuff yourself down between the lanes.

I do enjoy playing at complete ignorance; sit next to some loud fast car revving its engine, light goes green, gently ease off (not looking at him once) and leave the guy behind. Few seconds later once you're up to the 50kph limit he comes screaming by at 70kph+. Don't look at him!. Pulls in front of you into your lane, joins the traffic queue at the next lights. Completely ignoring him, you dawdle back past him between the lanes at walking pace. So satisfying! :laugh:

Aren't little rs's good for annoying boy racers off the lights , I can usually beat Evo's to at least the middle of the intersection . I thought car drivers were why they put kevlar nuckle protectors on gloves .

[awayatc]

Regarding the driver window - I suggest you go test it out. Be prepared to be surprised though -

......ahm.....its actualy surprisingly easy to break a window with minimal force.......
Trick however is not to use full hand/fist but a real small area....
sharp little whiplike whack....Shattering results.
(welding hammer type style sharp pointy thingy....)

Not that I know off course......
Just Hypothetical speaking....

Im not saying that i'd actually do it, just wondering if some big guy got angry with kevlar gloves if he'd attempt it :)
Im sure if some boyracer tried to drive you off the road on purpose because he didnt like the fact you kicked his ass of the lights, hell even then i might get enough guts to try punching anything even if the attempt fails and breaks my hand, im sure the correct way of driving up along side and saying "Excuse me young man, would you mind not trying to kill me?" might not feel quite right at the time.

[Mikkel]

If someone tries to run you off the road - coming alongside them trying to punch out their windows is probably the least prudent course of action...

Yes, biker gloves would be nasty in a fight - they won't help you break car windows. What awayatc said is correct - you need a very high pressure (lot of force on a small area) to break a car window.

Don't be afraid of the boy racers - they are mainly little insecure teens who need to sort their shit out. Worry about the stressed out middle-aged business executives in 4WDs who are late for a date with their mistress.

[madbikeboy]

It's tough to break side windows, like Mikkel said, you need something sharp and small. Wait until he's locked in at the lights, and remove his keys. It's naughty, but it stops him from chasing you. I've done this twice - both times because of naked agression - and both times I walked up and opened the door and grabbed the keys out with a reasonable degree of force. I told 'em both that they could pick up their keys from the local cop shop.

But I lied, clearly I threw the keys down drains - it's way expensive to replace keys and hassle factor is really enormous. I have this mental picture of both Fucktards going to the police station asking for their keys trying to explain why a biker would remove them in the first place... :shutup:

Of course, I'm a reasonably solid sort of guy, and I was lucky both times that the fucktards were bullies (and therefore gutless).

[avgas]

What do you really expect from a country where nutters cant be locked up cos its inhumane

[Katman]

But I lied, clearly I threw the keys down drains -

Reminds me of a story of a m/c courier in London who did the same thing to a car driver in gridlocked traffic on one of the bridges over the Thames. The keys were removed and thrown straight into the river. Unfortunately it wasn't only the driver in question fucked off that night - he had to face the ire of the several hundred behind him as well.

(And no - I wasn't the courier). :msn-wink:

[n0regret5]

last time someone did that to me i rode up beside them on their right side and punched his wing mirror. got that tip from someone on here..guy shit himself. in hindsight it could've made things far worse but it didn't so i'm happy with my choice :-)

fucking cagers. i've never owned a car and i don't think i ever will.

[90s]

I had held onto his rear wing from some lights cause we were about to go up a hill, and he just went ballistic ... I smiled and waved ... and held on again ahhaha. ... I decided to have a word with him. ... His girlfriend in the passenger seat was shitting herself. ... I told him I do it all the time, and that it beats pedalling and laughed.

As a cyclist and biker this is pretty uncool. Annoying traffic for no good effect is what provokes the idiots to treat us all like dirt. Legally it also puts the car driver in a very dangerous position because he is liable for any accident you have/cause despite the fact that you have no business holding onto a car, which btw is illegal.

[Voltaire]

OMG...I just bought a Legacy...just need a beany now and a stereo that winds the windows down when playing shit.

I can guarantee that it was a Legacy wagon.

For reasons I don't entirely understand, the Legacy is the car of choice for fuckwits.

Basically what happened to me, except i got hit....

Then the guy lied to the cops and i got done.
