stupid people

I know a lot of people have horror stories about tailgaters when they have their L plate on, but I have to say I don't think I have had a single one.

Then again, most people who comment about me on the bike say I make it look like a little , so maybe the cars aren't quite as stupid and fear for their safety if something happens...

I had some silly bitch about 4 feet from my back wheel when I was doing 110 on the motorway a few weeks ago... slowed down to 65 to piss her off and she moved into the fast lane and proceeded to cut up 2 mover trucks to get onto the off ramp. She nearly didn't make it and nearly cause the trucks to crash into each other

I agree with rudi

Cant say Ive had this problem, hmmmmmmmmm. I think its usually 'tintop drivers' who cant stand bikers who are the most common offenders. And they are usually the same sexest bastards who have a dumb comment about girls on bikes, generally all to there own insecurities.

The only time I put an L plate on a bike was on the way to sit my restricted. And, you guest it, FU*KEN CAGERS RIGHT UP MY FU*KEN ARSE I felt the sign should have been changed to "I'm learning, so if you can read this, YOU ARE TOO FU*KEN CLOSE. BACK OFF, CAUSE IF I SPILL, YOU'LL KILL."
Personally, with people attitudes to L-plates, I think the things are just trouble magnets. They should run a campaign on L-plate if they want us to continue using them.

ahhh i am going for my licnece soon and after seeing the posts here i really dont want to put my L plate on anymore. Stupid tin top drivers. even befor i owned a bike or was even thinking about owning one i always gave them room to pass or hung well back if i had a bike infront of me. i even give them more room at lights too

While I wholeheartedly agree with what is being said about not using your L-plate, its important to remember that if you break ANY condition of your license your insurance company wont pay out.

there are some stupid laws out there like the L plate thing and the 70k's on the open raod just stupid if you ask me

[ScumKiller2]

Do a CBTA course and [legally] ditch that plate asap!

If you've got the plate on you anyways I'd just casually chuck it on the road, and then when anyone looks they'll think it snapped off in the bin.

yeah that would maybe work unless you take a big spill and are KO'ed or something stupid

pray to God that that dase now happen

CBTA?????????
