Motorists swerving at bikes

[Vinz0r]

I don't split unless there's a fairly big gap that leaves me enough room to split

Don't you ride an SRAD? You'd need at least half a lane!

Yeah, I guess it is kinda wide.

Since when has it been illegal to travel below the speed limit?

Death on the road normally comes by way of a speed differential. Be it going 80 kms an hour faster than the car in front or the power pole the outcome is the same. It is against the law to unnecessarily hold up traffic or yo travel at any speed that poses a hazard to other drivers. I forget the wording but you can get a ticket on a motorway for travelling under 80 without just cause.

There is no minimum speed limit but vehicles traveling less than the maximum must keep to the side of the road if any cars are following and pull over to allow others to pass as soon as it is safe.

There is a minimum speed on a motorway actually (or at least there was, and I presume still is)....I believe it is 41kph or somewhere in that vicinity

[Berries]

There is nothing in current legislation that states that there is a blanket minimum speed limit on motorways.

You white power motherfuckers would be getting shot left of center, everytime you stepped out the door, if we had the right to carry arms.

Cheeky darkie...

I have only had one instance, a truck and trailer decided to squeeze me off the road when I was over taking on the left.... thankfully I'm used to driving on gravel, so managed to get past him. The line of traffic was doing 20km ish at the time.

[Pascal]

Didn't bother with getting plate numbers, as I figure It could go bad if I start chasing after them... Seriously considering a Go Pro to record these events to give to Police...

Yup, had a snotling in a BMW do that to me a couple of weeks ago while I was lane splitting. She actually looked at me, gave me the finger and then started the move to sideswipe me. I'd only hooked up the Go Pro for fun rides prior to that, but since that day I keep it running for every ride.

[yevjenko]

So I leant over and locked the trailer brake on

This was Awesome!

I'd have been laughing about that all day every day for a week

Punch their fuckin mirror off then or park bike in front of them, get off it and see how tough they really are*


*do not recommend if there are more than one occupant in the car

So your recommendation is to escalate the situation by using stand over tactics and or commuting a crime?
Because that won't backfire at all.
First to admit there have been a few times I did not take the high road but looking back it is more good luck than good management I did not come a cropper.

Was on my morning ride to Uni the other day, pootling along (at the speed limit even) in the left lane of a dual carriageway lane stretch of road. Had just got onto a section that is raised and doesn't really have anywhere to go at the side, when some crazy bitch in a BMW SUV thing decides to merge straight into me. I got on the horn as soon as I saw her move, had to anchor it to get out of her way. Came up around the other side, gave her a couple of toots to get her attention, she didn't even look.
In that kind of situation it's not really worth escalating the situation, so I just gunned it to get out of the crazy bitch's killzone.
My exhaust is loud, and if she didn't hear that she must have at least heard my horn, but took no notice of either. We were side by side when she cut across into my lane, I don't see how she could have not known I was there.

It! knew alright. Might ( read 4 wheeled B M fu...ng Wubbleu) is right for these people. Best idea, as you did let em know then leave em too it.

[oneblackflag]
