Moron in a 4WD on Rimutakas - yes, it's true!

[DemonWolf]

I nearly rear-ended a 4x4 on sunday (Edit: or would that be.. the plonker nearly front-ended me while reversing!)... the dodegy driver must of accidentally pulled off the highway at the wrong road (Going to White Cliffs in Taranaki).. so this plonker was reversing back to the main road (didn't pull over to the verge or anything, and was only 5-8 metre's from the corner).. with me coming at him @ 70+ luckily nothing was in the other lane.... what a silly plonker! I also had to dodge the loose gravel... and not long after that (bout 800 metres) another plonker in a red station wagon reversed from his drive way looking to his left.. totally ignoring his right hand side.. and pulled out in front of me to take up both lanes.... He was abit started as I high-beamed and honked the horn at him (dont know if the beam did anything @ 1pm.. but I did it anyway!).. I was beginning to think that visiting the place I grew up wasn't such a good idea!

Other than that.. had a good ride.. getting about 80% back from waving at other motorcyclists... even joined up with a 3 group ride for awhile before urenui =)

Once you get over the fact you have to drive on the roads with people who aren't vigulant or even careful and share the forums with people who choose to think then i'm sure we'll all be happy as Larry

Bling Bling ( minus a bling from sniper -"Careful flinging the red rep around mate- Sniper")

[Sparky Mark]

Wow! I got neg rep from some tosser with 5 posts and (obviously) a 4WD.
I'm devastated. How will I cope?

Ooops... that could have been me? If it was I apologise, I hit the wrong button when I was sussing out the vote thing.

'Tosser' was a bit harsh though...

Who are we to argue with a man who knows himself so well?

[boomer]

Before you know it you'll have me changing my mind and tarring all the asians, but that might backfire 'cos once i've run out of social classes or minority groups i may then start on the kiwi's - god forbid huh?

I'm off to gratify myself i'll be back

Boat and caravan towing should be limited to early morning hours too

"the majority" of these people drive poorly - not ALL of them.

Considering the number of posts giving examples of poor driving by 4WD owners, I rest my bloody case!

The majority? and of course you can provide solid evidence to back that statement up and not just a "number of posts"

how many 4wd do you see each day that dont give you any grief at all? ah thats right we don't remember those ones do we, just the bastards that piss us off

You want poor driving/riding just go back throught the forums and have a look at the number of single bike bins

The most ignorant bunch of road users I see are motorcyclists, I see far less of them on the road but a far higher percentage of those I do see are doing dumb shit

Since when did you see me doing dumb shit?

Father-in-law came home with a white patch (boat paint) on his shoulder after a wanker in a 4WD towing a boat decided he needs BOTH lanes to navigate corners!
Sorry Motu, but when 90% of 4WD drivers act like fucking retards then yes I will be tarring them all with the same brush!
This is out of a sense of survival, the same way every gun is loaded and every snake is poisonous!
No offence, I still treat Volvo/Merc drivers the same as 4WD's and Ford's/Holdens are cops till proven otherwise!
My biggest fear; A Volvo 4X4 with a "baby on board" sticker and a Taxi sign on the door driven by an Asian lady on a cell phone!

I once sat down with a friend and some alcohol to work out the worst possible combination of driver, vehicle, situation etc. We came up with the following; An elderly asian woman, driving a Volvo taxi bus, in rush hour of a major city, in the rain, still wearing her bowling uniform (including hat) after several sherry's at the club. That should give anyone nightmares!
