How do you react after being cut off?

[DMNTD:Me]

its louder than you think, the lil microphone doesn't do it justice (carbon fiber muffler + a hole further down) - Wouldnt be surprised if the poor girl just added 'deaf' to her impairment list.

LOL....you are taking the piss eh? A heap of 'screaming' and not much going

BTW, from what I saw in those vid's...just a normal day in D'auckland's traffic.
Might is right...sad but true

WOT when passing their mirror after they do it (like a little girl ) just so they know I'm not happy but that I'm not a psycho... Maybe I should change it to having a riding crop in my left boot with ball bearings attached to the end. Particularly menacing if they have their driver window down

[sinfull]

Funny that. How did you manage to vote so many times Katman? Guess another demonstration of why not to trust electronic voting.
Seriously; did the OP do well to avoid being a victim?

What makes you say that ? I voted katman

Some of us ride/read the situation better than others !
As far as the Op doing well, i beg to differ, thats twice in as many days (?) he's left himself wide open to be nailed by "lane changing, i'm in a hurry to get home, Oh look there's a space," drivers ??
I'f your gonna leave a gap that big in peak hr traffic, of course some prick's gonna move into it !
As for sitting in a position where you can see the driver in the wing mirror goes, that only works if you resemble the grille of a kenworth !
Put money on it that the drivers took a quick glance out their left passenger window when they seen the car in yr lane move forward and went for it !

What would i do if this was happening to me more than i'd like ?
1/ Learn to ride more agressively, cover my brakes and only leave a bike length tween me and the car in front, of course you'd have to be constantly onto it to avoid rear ending them aye and then there is still the chance they will move over anyway and push you into the armco, cause car drivers DON"T see Motorcycles !
Or 2/ let it be and know the fella/asian chick on my right gonna take the space and laugh to yrself, knowing your still gonna crack a beer before they do

Seriously?

I'm still trying to figure out the mentality of someone who posts a video of themselves acting the way they did in the first one.

Do you have insurance on your bike of any sort?... Just realised if you did that would make you an excellent hippocrite.

Fire and theft?

Fire and theft?

Good point... Fire and theft only would be non-hippocritical

Surely im not the only obtuse person here but lets pretend for a minute that I am... What the fuck are you on about???

Katman... always goes on about how every crash is avoidable. I was wondering if he had insurance on his bike, since he's absolutely 100% he'll never be in a crash due to being epic at avoiding those type of situations (or so he makes out).

[sugilite:Me]

The 1st one is like a symphony, flight of the angry bumble bee.

I usually if possible ride up beside them, make eye contact (if they have any courage) and lift my left hand in a "WTF?" motion.

One of the things getting on my nerves at the moment is stupid dipshits who think it is ok to stop on a blind corner and do a u-turn. So far, all have been of oriental persuasion. (rather than this being a racial comment, see it as an obvious deficit in their driving knowledge, clearly they don't seem to comprehend outcomes of their actions??)

Maybe they think if it's OK for the cops to do it...

Oh is that all. Ok, fair enough observation i suppose although id have said he states theyre all avoidable but not that he will always be able to avoid them.

Subtle difference???

[Grubber]

Well i dunno. Can't really see anything worth bitching about to be fair. Car moves over into lane that has a ton of space. Seems ok to me.

Katman's not talking about how the OP avoided the car. He's talking about the attempted intimidation with the revs (and I'm guessing the eeeeeevil stare through the window) etc.

Thing is.... the other car drivers will remember that incident for the biker doing his rag and revving his engine, not for the car driver cutting him off in the 1st place (and like others have said, he's yet to be really cut up by Auckland traffic if those 2 vids are all he has to show for it).

Bridge Building etc......
