    Told this lady off today!

    Was riding to newmarket to meet the missus, being careful as always but enjoying the last rays of the day and the crisp air when a blue car shoots past me, indicates for a millisecond and cuts in just in front of me. Good thing I was being aware as I just calmly slowed down and cruised along. When the car stopped in front i rode up to the driver window and told the lady politely that she should check her blind corner as that was a very close shave. She apologised, I said hey no worries as long as you learn to check your blind corner. The light went green I kept on riding and she went her own way. Now was I in the right doing this? i didn't lose my cool and she seemed to absorb the message, at least temporarily lol.

    Na If I wanted to lose it I would have hopped up on my seat and round house kicked the pillar of her car into her head and calmy hopped back down, all whilst never leaving my bike.

    good on you for being cool. I had a car ALMOST pull out in front of me while was doing 100clicks on the open road. I rudely gave her the finger then realised she was one of my clients, and a very nice old duck too. I felt really awful, and I nearly went around there right away and apologised. I didn't though, and I still feel like an asshole.

    I really think I won't do that again.

    Whatever tranquilisers you are on could I have some. Saying sorry after the event does not dimninish the consequences or cut it for me. If cagers had to ride real vehicles before being granted a license the road toll would be drastically reduced.
    Caution is not a substitute for skill :no

    Oh so being a client absolves her of all responsiblility. Fuck off she is a liability and you should have stopped and rearranged her clock, by not doing so you have condemned other bikers to the same fate. THANKS PRICK.

    Good on you, fair enough too might make her equate bikes with actual people on em which some drivers don't seem to get.
    Was cruising on the motorway Sat and saw an Impreza filtering at about 120k, you know the start to change lanes, indicate as changing, stay in lane for 3 seconds, repeat manouevre kinda guy.
    Sometimes I treat cars who cut in front as some sort of Karma comeback for all the cars we carve up and scare the crap out of by momentarily popping in front of them with great noise and flashes of colour before disappearing at warp speed.
