It wasn't an "I didn't see you"...

It is also a pity, that far too few four-tyred* motorists fail to think about how their actions impact upon other road users.

*must refrain from using the term "four wheeled" since most 4-wheel drive vehicles are used in an urban setting, and NEVER have dirt under the tyres...

So...?
If several people encountered this dude, and just ignore it thinking what you've said below, then its no wonder nothing has been done.

I thought they weren't allowed to tell you if anything happened to the person because of your report? It used to be that you also had to go in and fill out some paperwork at a police station before they would do anything...

So he pulled across in front of you and was turning then? How did you then pass him?! From what you said I thought they pulled out into a gap in front of you going the same direction as you?

The van pulled out, I anticipated he would so managed to stop but the truck behind me was hard on the anchors, the fatty behind the wheel saw me clear as day and that is what infuriates me. I shot past him, pulled back in and then made case of point in ensuring he knew what I thought of him. I dont usually do that but this guy was a cunt. Guess what though, he was fucking pleased with himself, laughing at me. I have a family cunt face and friends and people I love who would miss me you fucking walking fat deposit, is it just me or is there a complete and utter lack for the value of others lives in this country.

Fatty kept pointing to the green light for me to go, he must have too much fat around his eyes as there was straight traffic and we were turning, so again is there a complete lack of the knowledge of road rules in this country.

He then started tailgating me and tooting his horn.

I prayed for michelin man to get out of his van and start something, I prayed I would get the chance to wedge my size 10 boot into the pudding he called his face, I was enfuriated but I managed to control it.

The red mist is what they call it innit. Anyway, next person that pulls out in front of me knowing I am there and then thinks it was jolly funny is going to get a roundhouse kick to the face through the A pillar of their car.

They should make a test, if you are too fat to look over you shoulder or check your blind corner then you cannot drive.

grrr...I need a beer.

Keep a toy hand grenade dangling off ya handle bar... pull it off and toss it through his driver window and watch the fatty jiggle!

A boot in the side of the biggest panel works a treat.

Mr Sketchy racer. Buggerd if I know his username. I think the origin scientific cameras are about the same price. There are quite a few similarly priced ones on the market.

If the bike was in a good road space there really shouldn't have been any stress , white van ready to pull out by fat account, ( me I'm on the brakes moving waaaay over to the right and looking for a way out of this mess , and that is as soon as I see the Fat banker )

unfortuantly its just a syptom of a wider sickness and will get worse ...kick the Cat de-stress here, move on

Its amazing how much and at what angles you can actually contact with a moving car ...without so much as of a hinderance to your travels ... 12 years as a London DR,,teaches you a few thing I supose

Good luck next time

Stephen

Watch what happens when you stop and pretend to write down number plates , the driver will freak ....

Last time I checked reality was somewhat different to a computer game. 'Start New Game' would be a wonderful asset in real life.

All that will be achieved by the "us versus them" mentality that proliferates this site (along with the fucking retarded chest beating that invariably accompanies it) is to take us down a path that will only end with us losing.
