Ok three, the first one isn't road rage, it was ''alleged''.

A fat bastard is a fat bastard, how else can they be described?

I'm sure some PC twat will enlighten me in due course...

its not nice of you to refer to me as fat bastard, its not my fault, firstly me mudder didn't let me suck the tit long enough and now i hear that her leaving me to bawl myself to sleep as a baby has given me a psychological complex which is obviously why i have no control over what i shove down my throat. add to that the fact that Jimmys pies are just so damned good and now you may understand why i may appear to be over weight. it just so hurts my feelings when i get referred to as fat or fattie and now i just have to go and eat another pie to try and dispell those feelings of anxiety that you have created by referring to me as fat

Yep, losers sure whinge a lot about the 'too hard' driving test.yes:

yeah, funny that, all our kids got their restricted license on their first go, all taught by me, and the last one just did hers about six months ago and when she went to the counter the women behind counter got a shock, there were no comments which apparently is extremely rare. kinda think that preparation is the key and my daughter did not think it was a hard test, was long tho.

don't envy you your job tho Scumdog but hats off to you

I guess it isn't the out and out road rage "pull over and go ballistic" or ram someone road rage.

It is the tacit, near constant, fuck everyone else on the road that winds me up.

Sure London was congested as hell and driving was frustrating, you still let people in and showed courtesy. There was a common shared frustration of all in this together.

Here in NZ, everyone is fighting to get there "first", even if that doesn't mean fast. It just means that by passing the guy on the motorway, you've explained to him that his penis is shorter and you're on your way back from shagging his missus. And this winds him up.....



Anyway - I'm aware that I ride a mean, loud, black thou that roars about town all day.
I am always first to wave cars out and pedestrians over the road. After-all, turn of the wrist and the delay is forgotten about! What top gear used to call the "Christian motorist"

You see on their face the comprehension that, actually, I'm a nice guy who is enjoying his bike. Not an out and out cunt caring about nothing to reach his prize first. They look confused, then happy - it is a nice feeling. Try it!

Taxi driver drove into my leg while I was stopped at the lights and then honked his horn at me. Lady in the car beside him gave him her version of which country he shouldn't live in anymore. She probably liked the look of my arse. Most women do. Almost a true story.

when im in the work ute i always let people in from side streets etc, i even let buses out into the flow of traffic, its not the end of the world to let someone in and who knows somebody may let you in one day

Thats the message we need to spread to all NZ'rs.
Good health to you mate.

Was nearly going to start its own thread about this....

This is the end my friend... the end of the cycle users as a special road group. There's been a few incidents lately in news, some involving cyclists assaulting other road users and other stuff, now this...

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=11469951

"An angry cyclist yanked the keys from a pensioner's ignition and took off in a bizarre road rage incident, leaving the man and his wife stranded in peak-hour traffic in Auckland's CBD.

John Goodman and his wife Jocelyn, both 69, were heading to the Auckland Town Hall to see a performance of the Symphony Orchestra on Friday night when they were confronted by a man on a bike.

Mr Goodman said he turned from Queen St onto Mayoral Dr on a green light but traffic was heavy and he did not get all the way through the intersection before the light turned red."

"
Auckland road policing manager Acting Inspector David Hines said no road user should take matters into their own hands.

"If they witness bad driving then use the *555 and roadwatch if it's not an emergency," he said.

"In this instance if the cyclist took exception to the intersection being blocked he should have reported the matter using *555. It is an offence for a motorist to enter a blocked intersection which comes with a $150.00 infringement fee."

He said if identified the cyclist could be charged with theft for taking Mr Goodman's keys.

"He has no legal right to remove keys from the vehicle. I would strongly urge members of the public to avoid these situations and report them to police for follow up," he said.

"If anything the cyclist has made the situation worse as Mr Goodman has not been able to move his vehicle and caused further traffic congestion to road users. He has also put Mr Goodman at risk stuck in the intersection."

I suspect the driver was a mechanic at the local Harley dealership trying to drum up some work.

I know a lot of cyclist piss of other road users, but this is a bit much:

No stabby stabby though.

TAG: because motorcyclists never get angry at other road users.

We're now well into the Go Pro / Youtube generation, with people flooding the internet with their (often trivial) road rage experiences.

One common theme in clips from here and overseas, is the lack of courtesy shown to others, by supposed road rage "victims" who then post their self-righteous videos online. Very common is the active blocking of others who are attempting to merge or change lanes, with the resulting "road rage" posted for our viewing pleasure.
