Awesome car drivers

[Dave-]

im sick to fuckin' death of the aucklanders moaning about almost getting knocked off by some incompetent driver.

so here's my thread on awesome car drivers.

I was cruising along moorehouse ave the other week, and I stopped at the lights by at durham, I'm sitting there foot down when the asian cabbie next to me says loudly "MATE! MATE!" I look over, he points and says "your stand is down!"

I look down and sure enough it's down...but it's so weird because i had defiantly put the stand up, I may have bumped it when i had just put my foot down, who knows? either way I knock it back up smile and yell my thanks

as i ride off over that slight up hill bit i think that it might've touched the road here and spun me over and under the wheels of the car behind me...thanks to that cabbie I'm definetly still here.

on my way home from work last night I pulled up to a T intersection I was turning left and there was a cue of cars turning right in the opposite direction, I had to give way, I slow down and start crawling trying to keep my balance, the 3rd car is a middle aged women who smiles and points for me to go, even though it's not my turn.

that's all i can remember for now.

I love cagers, I think we should celebrate our 4 wheeled kin.

are you alright? you sound like your high dide

[Toaster]

Why in heck would we want to celebrate cagers in a biker forum is beyond me!!

They can go screw themselves.... many are inconsiderate day dreamers that don't even bother to look for bikers.

The best cagers are the ones that also ride bikes... they know how to show proper consideration for us on the road, like pulling a bit left to allow you to pass safely.

*forms a posse to take a level 9 smack down on Dave*


But yeah seriously now, there are some decent cagers out there.
















Never met any myself

[Winter]

I took my cage to work this evening. I saw a few bikers on the way.

I didn't swerve all over the road like a drunk who needs to piss.
I indicated for three seconds before turning / changing lanes.
I didn't sit at the lights and rev my engine to try race the bike from the line.
I merged, Like a zip.
I drove at a speed apropriate for the conditions.

There are decent cagers out there. I'll bet they all ride bikes too tho!

[Patch]

Ahhh Dave, I think you need to get out more

An idiot is an idiot, doesn't matter what he/she drives/rides.

I can understand why some cages get pissed off with bikes tho, especially when (most that I have seen) split the lanes all the way up to the front of the lights and cut the front car off. I call them suicide runners.

I almost ran one cock over (who did that to me) when I was in my 4X4. There is no need for it and its bloody dangerous.


Farkin idiots are everywhere.

[mrchips]

There is good & bad in everyone.

I've always been a considerate driver, especially driving a car with bikers on the road, but that probably comes from my brother having a bike way back.

It is unfortunate that some cage drivers don't understand how vulnerable we are on the back of a bike, i guess that comes down to driver education.

Being a noob at all this - it's been so far so good but then again i take the attitude that everyone is out to get me.. even when i'm in my car.

ride safe everyone, like your life depends on it.

Too bloody right!!

Generally I find most truckies are onto it, while mini van drivers, . Went to Hamihole yesterday in the cage, coming over the Kaimais, all the trucks are moving out of the way (thanks guys!) while the bastards in the mini vans are holding me back on the way up and down the other side. Bloody was 15minutes late to the airport cause of idiot drivers.

[Patch]

are you sure it wasn't the mofo who left late??

You don't drive a car then?

Oh...so i'm not supposed to drag off the 250's in my 3ltr V6?



I dont do this when they are sitting between to cars though. Only when the bike has its own lane

Sure, if the bike has its own lane, and is aware of whats going on.

He's still the winner, because you just drank $12 worth of gas to get 50m down the road, and looked like a right plonker in the process.

Glad to see a positive spin on cager threads.

We have had good and bad experiences, but the good ones out weigh the wankerish behaviour of the few. Many stop to ask if you need a hand if they see you stopped, some move out of the way for you to pass. Good on the good guys and gals in cages.

[yungatart]

There are some great car drivers out there. They show consideration for all road users.
There are some great motorcyclists out there too.
Unfortunately , we will always have tossers out there as well. I guess the trick is to know the difference.
