Retribution and revenge

**Sanx** · 29th May 2007, 19:59

Earlier today, I was coming back over the Harbour Bridge. I was in the right-hand lane on one of the clip-ons. After checking mirrors, I indicated left and pulled into the left-hand lane and, as usual, sat about a foot from the centre-line. As I pulled left, there was a late-model Saab about 15 metres back travelling at the same speed as me. Nothing to worry about.

A few seconds later, I glanced in my mirror and the Saab was right up my arse. He then carried on moving forward, going between me and the crash barrier. I pulled to the right and let him go - no point in playing chicken with two tonnes of Swedish metal. it's just lucky I saw him coming as if I'd moved left within my own lane a couple of seconds before, I'd have been splattered all over the tarmac.

Now ... the question is ... what is the most suitable form of revenge and retribution?

Water pistol and brake fluid... won't show til the next morning...

How about adding another poll option:

"Take a chill pill and grow up"

Unfortunately you can't edit a poll once it's posted.

And please note, I didn't actually say what I did...

So where are we going with this discussion right now? A Moderator could be persuaded to amend the poll, if that's what its originator wished...

It's a bit of an occupational hazard isn't it? I get fairly pissed at that sort of thing as well, but have to remind myself of the number of times I've queue jumped, lane split and sneaked past a few cages each day and can understand the odd pissed off driver.

Shrug and let it go.

Just a handy hint, if you were ever to consider such revenge, is it really wise to post it in a public forum?

Sir, is this not a rant?

Dude, revenge? You already got your revenge. You are on a 'blade. He is driving a Saab.

Thinks slowest?

You forgot "Open his door as he drives past"

If you are going to get so upset every time a cage comes within cooee of you drive one instead of a bike. These guys are an occupatonal hazard for us. Sure at the time the hackles rise but by the time you get home they should have gone back to normal. Thinking of revenge is just not the way to go. One of these fuckers lose it and you are going to come off second best.

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.

I'm with Virago and Skyryder.

While you're busy exacting revenge, or even memorising the license plate, there's another hazard developing that you may miss.

for this very reason I try to dominate the space in my lane. Had quite few drivers take the space to the left of my lane to change into the next lane.
