What an idiot

**alexthekidd** · 27th May 2007, 23:16

Didn't know where to post this, and seeing as it is not bike related thought here was the most relevant place.

Today on our trip to Wanganui for hockey, had a guy come flying past in a Subaru WRX, doing at least 150km/h (we were doing 120 and he passed us like we were going backwards). Passes us on the inside then comes up behind a truck as we come to a blind corner.

On our side of the road it is single laned, on the other side, separated by double yellow lines there are 2 lanes. The fuckwit, without looking, crosses the double yelluhs, car comes round the corner in the passing lane, he's on the wrong side of the road, head on collision.

Luckily the innocent car managed to swerve a little, reducing the impact. The guy in the WRX spins out, narrowly missing the truck and us. We stopped, the guy in the WRX completely rooted front end and side, smashed windscreen, windows etc blood coming down his face. Friends dad who was taking us told him what a fucking idiot he was before we went and signalled traffic to slow down coming into the blind corner.

Really dangerous guy, complete fucking idiot. Glad the person in the other car was relatively OK but a few places behind was a guy on a GSXR750, now imagine what would have happened if it was this guy who was coming around the corner as the fuckwit changed lanes.

Apart from giving us a good shock, and a pretty fucking awsome show, really opened my eyes to how reckless car drivers can be.

How many times have you seen the roles reversed?

Personally I have seen a lot of motocyclists cross the double yellows to pass. Granted sometimes you can see, lot of times you can't though. Regardless Double yellows are double yellows. THOU SHALT NOT CROSS.

Yup, I do a heap of k's every year and morons are everywhere, they don't even need wheels. Even some pedestrians think they own the road, some so-called professional drivers are atrocious; cabbies, truckers etc. Every group has its morons, including the motorcycling fraternity.

It's just unfortunate that someone else was involved, at least by the sounds they where ok.

Getting a close up view of an accident like this (without the cost or pain of being involved) adds to your road experience / knowledge - you will probably remember that for a long time.

Slightly above average wick and sharpish handling sure can give idiots a false sense of security (or superiority). Hope your friends dad has a loud and clear talk to the cops.

How do you work that out then? What an effing stupid thing to say - a bit like the comment about Subaru drivers further down. Inaccurate and does nothing to get to the heart of the issue. It's like saying that Gixxer riders have a predisposition to crashing (errr...

)

Most of us drive cars too, but that doesn't brand us as poor drivers. Sorry to say that many WRX drivers are young with little willies and don't have the skills/ judgement to match the performance of the car. I've seen plenty of young bikers displaying the same traits!

Rant over

Declaration of bias: I drive a 2 litre Impreza as my hack, but it ain't turboed!

Much the same as Motorcyclists then

If a car driver crashes then he get ridiculed, if a motorcyclist crashes he gets sympathy, anyone else see a double standard being applied ?
