Road Rage

**blossomsowner** · 5th December 2008, 21:32

haven't had any cars trying to drag me off or chase me but plenty of useless drivers doing the old cut me off and try and run you out of room tricks........
just give them a toot and a wave.

If i think a driver is too dangerous or unpredictable I'll do whatever to get out of the way.

although a few have been real close to having the door panel kicked in as i go past.

When younger and more short tempered I had steel caps and steel heals on my boots. They used to leave nice scrapes in the laquer on the doors...

Today I just smile and let them go. Not worth it. And as my memory is crap I know that I will forget all about it in a minute or two...

I'm with you on this. Just let them go they are not worth the aggro.

And if one of them swerves/rips the door open suddenly them it REALLY won't make it worth the effort.

What surprised me most was he was middle aged businessman or similar (tie, dress shirt). Was extremely tempted to smash his wing mirror but didn't still not sure if I should or shouldn't have.

I saw a taxi pull out across two lanes right in front of a bike, biker had to jam the breaks on pretty hard to avoid an accident the driver actually stopped, got out and had a go at him amazing its as if some car drivers think if they have any incident with a bike it must be the bikers fault.

wing miriors bahhh over rated cages dont need em most never use them so in a way youd me making his car more fuel eficent

be gone stupid mirrior

Might be the same dick (or brother of) as I encounted yesterday.

I was on that one way street in Newmarket that lead you onto the Motorway northbound. Two lanes, both turn right, left hand lane gets you onto the M/Way and the right takes you into Newmarket. I nornally use the right lane and get into the left just around the corner, easy when you know how. The left lane always has a line of cars (when im there it does anyway) so I get around the corner, look to get into the left lane and this guy in a small goods truck does not want me there, he looks at me with a wank grin cos' he holds his ground (fair enough) I tuck in behind him. Get onto the on ramp. two lanes, he is in the left, I go to the right to pass him, he jumps into the right to stop me. Finally on the M/Way... easy to pass him now, so I do, when I get along side, he is having a huge laugh...glad I made his day.

I have stories that would blow you away and you would think im making these stories up, ive lost count with the bullshit i have seen on the road and that includes phucktards on bikes, yes your fellow bikers do dumb shit too. Two months ago I had two bikes on my side of the road and they had pillions, it was almost a head on and they said they did not see me, they did not have 150 mtr clear vision and claim a tree hid me from view...there was no tree to be hiding behind and to make matters worse they were arguing as to who was in the wrong, these sort of twats should not be allowed to breed EVER.
Cars passing on a bridge and almost killing me and they look at me and say you have plenty of room, yes you feel like smashing them over but they are not worth it I just let karma do the job these days.
A message to the prats who like to pass on blind corners, if you do take me out or any of my friends it could be the last time you ride, you know who you are and if you dont you need help, or a bashing, or running off the road which ever comes first depending on what type of rider you endanger.

You dont sound like a biker

I was riding back from Tauranga on the main motorway to Auckland and some stupid fucking prick in a BMW with the numberplate HI ROLLA (already makes him a tosser in my book to have a numberplate like that) comes and sits behind me RIGHT UP MY ARSE like I could just about turn and touch his bumper. I flashed my brake light and he still didn't get the message until I turned around and glared at him and made a thrusting motion with my hand to tell him to get the fuck off my tail.

He then pulls past me without indicating and I give him the bird, and so he winds down his window and does it back to me. Then changes lanes about 6-7 times, never indicating once and proceeds to tailgate someone else. By this stage I am fucking fuming so I ride up right behind him and sit right up his arse which is not something I would usually do, the whole time saying to myself how the fuck do you like it you prick. He obviously then got the message and swerved out of my way (AGAIN without indicating) and then seemed to drive sensibly from there on in.

Perhaps I over reacted a bit but FFS I'm only human and some people honestly deserve to be fucking shot sometimes. So arrogant and so self absorbed and so self righteous, thinking "How dare you be angry at me! I'M THE COOLEST GUY EVER!! I'M THE MAN!! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT I'M JUST SO AWESOME COS I DRIVE A BMW!!"

That's probably the worst case of it I've ever had.

Was the BMW modified or with chromies or anything? I'm sure I've seen a BMW with the number plate "HI ROLLA" in a performance car mag.

The Wairarapa is bad for road rage even the cops tailgate. Pull over and let them go. Life is too short.
