this advise might save your life

For many years Ive got into the habit of approaching traffic light controlled intersections carefully and I always assume someone is doing a runner, if the light is red and I need to pull up to a stop I always move into the centre, or on the white line either side of my lane (usually to the right) I do this just in case someone doesnt see the light as red and goes straight through the intersection.
This is a practice I always thought was wise and a good way to increase my safety level, Ive never actually benefited from this .......... until today
I came up to a light which was red in the main street of Hamilton at Lunch time the traffic was heavy with Xmas shoppers, I came to a stop in the middle of the two lanes as I have always done, within an instant here is this young FUCK in a boy racer honda civic on my left whizzing past me and the other stopped car to my right he just missed me, he went right through the intersection and pulled up quickly to avoid hitting cars on the other side of the intersection!!
(Ive posted before that im a bit of a aggro prick when it comes to my safety being comprimised by a idiot) the light turned green I rode up to his window (he was stuck in traffic) and gave him an absolute earful his defense was the light was he thought the light was orange(despite two others had stopped at the light), I bollocked him because HE WAS TEXTING !!!! I suggested to him that he nearly killed me and his reaction to this comment was not suitable, so you know wat I did, I reached into his car turned his car off pulled out the keys and biffed them towards the footpath !! he was stunned he didnt know what the fuck to do with a aggro biker at his window (kinda funny now)

So I thought I would share my little bit of riding safety advice with you all and I hope that you adopt it into your own riding style....just in case !!!

Nice work Bret.

Brilliant Quasi - wish I'd been a fly on the wall for that exchange.

Good move mate. A bollocking won't do him any harm - and excepting the fact it would inconvenience other drivers, it's a shame there were no drains handy to receive those keys...

[rc_36_rider]

good on yah i always split my lanes so im in your boat and i also get fucked off with cages the ammount ive chased down a given a them abusive advice on how to avoid me attacking them just isnt funny the thing i hate the most is when your passing slow moving traffic still on you side of the road and sum fucker coming the wrong way swervs at you or the cage your passing moves quickly to the right.jeloucy they cant avoid it

[T.W.R]

Brilliant Quasi!!! bet the little prick did some heavy braking in his undies

[skelstar]

Nice one. Did you manage to do this from the seat of your bike or did you park it up?

[crashe]

Good onya mate..... well done.
Hope he had a long hunt for his keys... and then hopefully a cop comes along and he had to explain it to a cop as to why he is parked where he is....


Last night I was going around a roundabout and this pratt went straight throu without even looking or indicating... cos this pratt just about took me out... missed me by an inch.

So I followed him and pulled up beside him when we came to a set of lights at Henderson and made him wind down the passenger window (no room on the other side as he was right on the white line) and I bollocked this geezer out as well...

He said he "didnt see me"... like WTF.... I had my lights on and it was night time. I told him to open up his farking eyes and to farking look, oh and to use his farking indicators as it is the farking law to use the farking indicators.... I told the farker to go and sit the NZ license as well... cos I reckon he was on a international license.

I do believe that he got the message.... cos next time.....grrrrrrrrrrrr.

So - anyone know who the dude was that got taken out by a car in Onslow Rd, Mt Eden yesterday?
Chippy I was talking too said this asian lady dithered and dillied, then pulled straight out into the path of an approaching bike- he said it was a 600! Also said the bike was not going very fast on the wet road!
Apparently a broken collarbone to tide this guy over for Xmas
Good on ya Brett

From my bike seat, it was tricky though as I had to use my left hand but he just watched me do it I think he was a bit stunned. But sheesh it was clser than a really clode thing I tell ya fuck I could be dead or in Hospital for a long time, he would have been doing 60kmph.

Id love to know I could do that kinda thing, but Im a lover not a fighter (and a little bit chicken). Was cycling in a REAL foul mood one day and watched a guy pull out and hit me. MAN I nutted off.

He said I should be on the road, not the footpath...IM ON A F*CKEN CYCLE LANE YOU *&^%*$!!!....there were signs everywhere.

I told him "give up the park life mate, get some exercise!" (very funny later). Very cathartic.

So that was you. Was on the footpath in the general direction you threw the keys in. Saw it happen and almost fell over laughing. Had some one do something similar on the small bridge off River road that takes you to Victoria after the Y-split with Ulister or Ulster or whatever that one is called. He cut me off at the road about when I had right of way and was in fact just over half the bike in front of him. His keys are now at the bottom of the Waikato.

Good on you Quasi. You are a Legend.

[MidnightMike]

Quasi your a farkin legend. That guy would have looked like a complete dick in the middle of that intersection

[flash]

shit, ive gota start parking near the white line at the lights, and look in my mirrors (never do it). i wish i was there to see that though. im surprised the guy didnt stop you, if i were him, i would of atleast grabed your hand or pushed you away,WHAT A DIP SHIT!!!!

good on ya quazi
