Wtf is it with car drivers that make them such useless assholes

If you ride as well as you express yourself, expect to have many more interesting times on a bike.

Ummmm. What is an asshole?

Skirt in a cage pulled out of a give way today in front of me. Didn't even look down the road to see if anything was coming. Be carefull out there..............

No, sorry it was my fault. I shouldn't have riding on that stretch of road.

Tell me you have never driven a car?

Its not the fact they drive a car, its the person behind the wheel.

I've met a lot of bad drivers male and female. And also some hard to distinguish for either.

I have made bad decisions and mistakes both in cars and on bikes.

I think 'cage' is a stupid term also. Makes people feel cool when they spout it ten times in a sentence (even though they likely drive one, will or have).

Oh bugger! Me got it all wrong again! Silly me!
For some 35 years I have been obeying the rules, cos I thought we all had to. Now I find out that as a woman, I don't have to!!
This could be fun!!

Could have been. He/sh/it had a moe. Been out in the sun a bit long by the looks of it, if you know what I mean.

Quite proud of the restraint I had in not bashing off the mirror or denting the car.

Oh, and has anyone mentioned Honda riders are ghey yet?

However, the safety factor of a car does seem to lull people in to a false sense of security. A bike is less forgiving to it's controller if things go pear-shaped.

I drive a car semi regularly and, while I enjoy having it for practicality an being able to talk to the wife, it is a cage (at the very least it's a Faraday cage).

Brilliant, I don't think anyone said it better.

have no doubt you are about to suffer the wrath of the KB punctuation and spelling police.

These new age motorcyclists are very particular about correct grammer.Even the most desperate plea for help from a more than ardent motorcyclist will be ignored for the lack of the odd punctuation mark.

spot the mistake

You have to look right at intersections?

Shit I thought it was "first in - first served"! or "Im gettin in there before you, and you didnt know it was a race did you"?

Thats the special driving practice I learnt in Tauranga...sometimes feels like Im driving that big intersection in Europe the one where nobody's car is insured. Crazy Business.

Yep! You now have a total exemption from all road rules. Go forth and enjoy.

Cheers

Tell me something I don't know.

Regularly operating both makes you acutely aware of these factors.
