If your in Auckland look out for this wanker with the number plate SKIPRO. Late model Ford Explorer.
Guy took offence to me filtering past him in stationary traffic on Symonds St this arvo. As the traffic started to move he decided to undertake me and push me in to oncoming traffic
This sort of reaction from cagers is happening to me more frequently anyone else had this sort of problem lately?

On the southern every morning and I've got to say that of late I'm experiencing quie the opposite, car, truck and even other bikes are allowing enough room to pass safely.
Odd exceptions of course and yes I've literally had em try to run me into oncoming or paralell travelling cars but hey I ride, they don't have a snowballs chance in hell of manouvering me into other vehicles.
So no , no bad ones of late quite the opposite in fact.
I've had the pleasant experience of late of having traffic making room.
It might be that I don't split unless traffic is stopped and or moving very slowly and i ride at no more than about 30 K ph past em, they seem to understand thats not a threat and give me room.
Every day above ground is a good day!:

I would always say watch your speed when filtering - I notice that cars only get wound up when surprised by filterers going too fast.
That said I did have some dick move to close a gap once (some boy racer ute - you know the type, silver crap wheels on a crap vehicle with his phone number in the back window - I assume for gay sex - I politely stopped by his window and told him he likes to fornicate with himself regularly). This is the only ever time I have experienced this though.
More often than not I now notice drivers creating a gap for me as I am moving at an acceptable speed (where they can see me and react). I always like to simply raise my fingers off the clutch to say thanks as I go past (I just think of them as bikers in cars - as this is what I now do in my car when I see bikes filtering).
Most car drivers like to help bikers in my opinion, some just plain don't think but it is very rare to find a fuckwit who purposefully obstructs bikes.

This year its happened to me 3 times. Vehicles are staionary and decide to have a go once traffic moves off. Its definelty not speed related anyone here that knows me knows I'm no hoon and quite the opposite. Seems everytime the drivers are male

Trucks pulling out onto a road. Had to apply the rarely used emergancy braking technique after a live stock truck decided I wasn't worth waiting for and pulled out.

Silly question. Do you wear any hi-viz stuff?Originally Posted by Fub@r

Double shot!!
It's nothing to do with not being seen - its to do with asshole cagers thinking they can act dangerously without consequences. In these cases, the more you are seen the more likely you get targetted. Perhaps you allude to hi-viz gear making bikers look like pansies, so cagers think they can push them over and make them cry..
A couple of times I have people take action against me, only to have the fuzz a few car lengths behind and witness the whole thing, and swiftly on with their disco lights for a wee chat with the perpetrator, no doubt to educate them on the rights of bikers splitting at traffic lights.
I've never felt the need to DO anything about it.. Just split off the next car and they are real gone.
