Made a cage driver cry this morning

[Swoop]

Nah, we do it like a zip.

I thought D'auckland driver's merged like velcro...

[Mikkel]

She must have been pretty freaked out to start crying.

Being freaked out doesn't mean that you got the message. Just that you realised that you might be in the shit. It's like "almost getting caught by the fuzz" probably won't do much to make a crim think twice about his choice of career.

Hmmm, I don't. Sometimes you just have to walk away.

Indeed - and sometimes it pays to man up and speak your mind.

Oh well, I bet the bitch wont do that again. Cheers John.

Love the drama - sounds like a very likely case...

However, I'm just not sure that you can count on her not doing it again.

Id tap that and the one in your sig.

You'd tap a bitch's window wouldn't ya

Bwahahahaaa

I can assure you there is no photoshopping in my signature - I AM THAT HOT!

When people (neighbours, strangers) do something that offends or irritates me, I have long believed that the best thing to do is eitherSTFU and forget it or to approach them and calmly discuss the issue with them. The third option being to make rude gestures, etc.

I must say however, that I have never actually managed to have a calm discussion in this situation. Part of the problem is that I am not able to be assertive without looking rather fierce. (I don't know why, perhaps it's my dark bushy eyebrows.) Part of the problem is that people really don't want to have calm discussions with jerks who are criticising their behaviour. Anyway, these calm discussions seem to end with verbal 9but never physical) violence. I haven't entirely given up on the calm discussion idea, but I have resigned myself to the fact that it's not actually going to achieve anything. (Hell, it doesn't even make me feel better!)

On the road you have the added complication that you are both controlling lethal weapons and the chances of a successful calm discussion are close to nil.

I'm afraid the woman in question has no idea why the bloody biker was threatening her, though maybe, just maybe she has the glimmer of an idea that it was something to do with bad driving on her part. Let's hope so.

Would you have done the same thing if it was a bloke bigger than you?

Hes called tank for a reason....

There aint many fellas bigger than him lol

Are you sure its not like a chainsaw?

[Tank]

Overweight yes - but I'm no huge guy by any means

But then .... its not always the size of the dog in the fight ... The nickname came from my old boxing gym. As you may know boxing is a beautiful sport full of subtleties. Apparently I wasn't very subtle.


Edit - it also fits with my surname.

Murdock?

"Right turn, Clyde!"

[SVboy]

Anyway, I think you did good, WTF did she think after she gave you the finger!

[BiK3RChiK]

Great story Tank, cheers for that, made my morning a little brighter. And the best thing is you didn't intend to follow her and freak her out, it was just where you were going, so you are blameless.

Once a woman passed me on double-yellow lines in a 100 zone, so close that I reached out and touched the car. ( just instinct to push something away I guess )
She pulled into the next town. I stopped beside her open drivers window, and told her what she'd done. She said "fuck off".

So then I just sounded my horn. My Stebel. The biggest, loudest model. For about a minute. Jeez, you should have seen her jump in total panic! She couldn't get out of the car becasue I was parked too close to her door, and her dignity didn't allow her to clamber over to the passenger door, so she just sat there, amidst the deafening blast.
My handlebar was on the windowsill, so she couldn't close the window, Stebel pointing directly into the car.
Then, point made, I simply rode off.

I did bad that day, but it felt good.

Ahh... I love it!

Except he beat on her window and told her! Unless she is deaf she sure does know what the problem was!! Hope she get's a bloody clue in the future.

[Badjelly]

Unless she is deaf she sure does know what the problem was!

Unless she was trying not to hear, or look.

"What happened to you today dear."

"Nothing much. Some crazy biker banged on my window and yelled some nonsense about cutting him off and then followed me for the next ?? kilometres."

"Yeah, bloody bikers."

[oldrider]

Chicks aye. When all else fails, cry.

Read your post this morning Finn, thought to self, why not, it always seems to work for them!

Thought I would give it a try myself.

Wife gets a bit bossy so I lay down on the floor, kicked and screamed and "cried like a baby"!

Inwardly smirks to self....hey this should really get results!

Hey, will have to finish this later, some cunts backing up our drive in a bloody "AMBULANCE"....................... John.

Last week I went over to the land on the other side of the bridge. In both directions the same thing happened. Both times I was in my lane and a car in the lane next to me just decide to move into my lane, despite me being there. No looking over.
I was aware of them and suspicious so was able to pull forward. My reaction is to bang my helmet with my first. Makes my eyes go a little blurry and I am not sure what it achieves.
I don't like rude gestures. I favour the helmet tap. If I can't talk to them through the window of course.

He was just wanted to share your lane. Surely you could have made room for him?
