BLOODY CAGE DRIVERS

[Two Smoker]

Yeah, it might work that way. It might also cause him to have a more determined go at the next rider he sees, because "some cunt on a bike took of my mirror!" You never can tell, unfortunately.



It's called criminal damage, based on what you described. The guy may have deserved it, but you'd likely be screwed in court.

Not completely, the guy used his vehicle as a weapon, hence Quasi can be seen as defending himself.... The other guy can get done for Dangerous Driving as well.... I think the courts would favour Quasi a fuck load more than that piece of shit scum.....

I kid u not. There were three populated car seats in the back. 3 toddlers. I bit back what i was about to say - can't understand how his wife let him do it. Fuckin complete nutter.

Maybe she gets the bash if she complains. Maybe she's as stupid as he is (nothing that says women have to be smarter about this shit than men, after all...).

I've read all the posts in this thread and can totally relate to all said, being swerved at just the other week (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...498#post127498).

Doesn't seem to be doing much good any of us reacting to the situation at the time, except for some feeling of self satisfaction/revenge.

Most often, except for the situation that occurred in the thread above, I follow manuboy's way of thinking, that being…

Quas-myster. I've learnt the long hard way that although it seems like a good (even great) call at the time, in the long run its more fulfilling just to lay back, chill out, reflect on the fact that the fukwit in the cage is, well.... just that.

You are a superior being on a superior ride. Let the mortals in their fucktard mobiles stressin their way home go on doin it like that.

I'm not saying peace and love, just don't put yourself in danger (any more danger than the cages can already expose you to that is...)

I particularly relate and agree to this part…

the long run its more fulfilling just to lay back, chill out, reflect on the fact that the fukwit in the cage is, well.... just that.

I had a situation a little while ago at the Paramata round-about. Some knob-jiggling-toss-pot in a ‘hotted’ up Holden tried to squeeze past on the inside (basically push me out of my lane) while I was exiting the round-about to go around the South side of the inlet. He didn’t get by and so decided to hog my tail while revving what sounded like a full blown V8 and slipping his clutch at me. Got pretty angry with the twat. A came round the corner coming the other way and I motioned to the car behind me – he wasn’t even looking, or didn’t care? Anyway I just pulled of the road, half expecting him to follow suit, jump out of his car and come at me which I was fully prepared for, however, he simply carried on – hassling the cars that were in front of me instead. This was one of those occasions where I, ‘laid back’, ‘chilled out’ and ‘reflected on the fact that the fukwit in the cage was, well… just that’, which in the end can indeed be ‘fulfilling’ or satisfactorily gratifying.

Anyway, just wondering if there’s any other way of handling these incidents - something that’s more productive. Maybe it would help to identify individuals, particularly those who are repeat offenders, and well…. do something. I work with people that have access to LTSA systems – perhaps we could send offenders a special award… a ‘Fukwit Award’ from KBr’s

[inlinefour]

couple of my pet hates on the motorway. people cruising at 110 in the 'fast' lane, and not pulling over (when they can) for faster cars/bikes to come through. i fitted 100w spotties to the diamante to flash as i'm approaching - most people move over, but some people are arrogant and won't move, so i just take them on the inside lane, which is perfectly legal (as opposed to !#)kmh) SUV drivers and horse floats are the worst. slow drivers pulling out to pass without checking their mirrors is the other, then getting pissed off when i nearly take them out as i fly by. one reason i drive with lights on all the time, and don't have a personalised plate

1. People in cars should really look at their own behaviour when it comes to the concept to bikes passing. Society is becoming very selfish, which brings me to my second point.
2. This person above is also selfish. The open road speed limit is 100km/h. So why does this person think that the "fast lane" is there for cars or bikes to speed?!?!? I lothe driving through the AKL motorway due to this fact. I like to sit in the inner most lane that you like to call "the fast lane" at between 100km/h to 110km/h. I will NOT move over for anyone wanting to go faster. If you want to break the law, drive around me and carry on. Why is it that people like whats quoted above think that the "rules" don't apply to them?!?!?! In my opinion this makes you in the same boat as the poor minded fool that the thread starter was complaining about. So this one is just for you and your kind
If people looked at themselves instead of complaining about others, considered the laws and grew moral life would be so easy. (er not saying that I allways to 100km/h on my bike, so perhaps I'm poor minded also?)

[Sniper]

Yea I have seen that too and had the attitude of if you want to speed overtake me and carry on. But more often than not I get some self important who wants to be special and show the bike that he owns the road. Those are the types of pricks we can do without on our roads. Quasi, you did a good thing but just make sure that moron doesnt see you again and if he does, well thats why the japanese put 2 mirrors on a car, hint hint.

Ride safe guys. (And do what Quasi does and get a nice set of heavy boots )

I cant stand people that sit in the fast lane arrogantly enforcing there belief that the law is 100kph and why should I move over for anyone, the attitude that you have is one that pisses me off, I f I want to do 120kph on the motorway the fast lane is where you do it and idiots that hog it will get a full beam on their tail. Your type of behaviour only frustrates people and causes anger, and you know it !!!
idiot

Yes i sort of agree, BUT it isn't really a "fast lane" but actually a passing lane and the law stats that you should be in the LEFT hand lane unless PASSING a vehicle....

[spudchucka]

Someone mentioned they don't commute/ride? on their bike this time of year due to the number of crazys. Judging by the experiences NC and you have both had, I'd say it's probably a good idea.

Maybe spud can correct me, but it's trying to hit someone attempted murder/assult with a deadly weapon or something.

He's lucky he got off with just a broken mirror.

Depends largely on the persons intent, which isn't the easiest thing to determine. Its definately reckless driving and could also be assault with a weapon.

[DarkDream]

Haha, Quasi as I read this I can only wonder how you restrained yourself so well. A mirror is nothing....

When I ride to work I use the same tactic, and filter through the cars on the motorway...however its a little faster than 30kph...I think I might have to slow down.

If Mr plod did turn up on your doorstep you could always say he was trying to run you off the road, you lost controll and whilst trying to regain balance you reached out with your foot to rebalance the bike? I'm convinced!

The original incident would be no defence to a charge of intentional damage. While it is clearly provocation Quasi still had the option of backing off and reporting the incident to the police rather than reacting in a similar manner.

Don't take this as a go at you Quasi, I'm just saying how things would likely stack up in court.

LoL no mate I understand, I was looking forward to the voice of reason from your proffesional point of view.
I do hold the opinion though that sometimes just sometimes a bloke has gotto do what a bloke has gotto do, this was one of those times. Sought of like ,if a man gave your girl a hard time, a good ole punch on the nose is im order assault yup but it has to be done. You know what I mean Im sure
Thanks though appreciate it
