What a cock

[toyboy]

Being a car driver most of my life i've always given lots of room to bikes (always got the thought it my head that cops will always think its the cars fault if a biker gets hurt even if he falls off in front of my car)
But having just gotten a bike and some carbon reinforced nuckle gloves I now know another reason not to take on a biker Its great being able to punch anthing solid and not feel anything on your fist Wonder how easy it would be to punch out a driver window if they dont move over?

It sounds like you're an angry man... The smiley faces doesn't fit the image though.

Regarding the driver window - I suggest you go test it out. Be prepared to be surprised though - unless you have hardened steel crests on your knuckles I believe you shall break your hand and/or your wrist before the window.
Oh, and if you intentionally damage another persons property be prepared to get your arse kicked or dragged to court.

The trick is to punch the mirror downwards. Picture a Viking pounding on the bar for another beer.

I'm pretty relaxed about that kind of thing -- let him scream off in a cloud of tyre smoke, I just continue to merrily pootle along my way with a vague smile on my face. If the numpty insists on staying behind you, tailgaiting and weaving around, find some traffic and stuff yourself down between the lanes.

I do enjoy playing at complete ignorance; sit next to some loud fast car revving its engine, light goes green, gently ease off (not looking at him once) and leave the guy behind. Few seconds later once you're up to the 50kph limit he comes screaming by at 70kph+. Don't look at him!. Pulls in front of you into your lane, joins the traffic queue at the next lights. Completely ignoring him, you dawdle back past him between the lanes at walking pace. So satisfying!

Aren't little rs's good for annoying boy racers off the lights , I can usually beat Evo's to at least the middle of the intersection . I thought car drivers were why they put kevlar nuckle protectors on gloves .

......ahm.....its actualy surprisingly easy to break a window with minimal force.......
Trick however is not to use full hand/fist but a real small area....
sharp little whiplike whack....Shattering results.
(welding hammer type style sharp pointy thingy....)

Not that I know off course......
Just Hypothetical speaking....

Ask DMNTD, he may know.

Im not saying that i'd actually do it, just wondering if some big guy got angry with kevlar gloves if he'd attempt it
Im sure if some boyracer tried to drive you off the road on purpose because he didnt like the fact you kicked his ass of the lights, hell even then i might get enough guts to try punching anything even if the attempt fails and breaks my hand, im sure the correct way of driving up along side and saying "Excuse me young man, would you mind not trying to kill me?" might not feel quite right at the time.

If someone tries to run you off the road - coming alongside them trying to punch out their windows is probably the least prudent course of action...

Yes, biker gloves would be nasty in a fight - they won't help you break car windows. What awayatc said is correct - you need a very high pressure (lot of force on a small area) to break a car window.

Don't be afraid of the boy racers - they are mainly little insecure teens who need to sort their shit out. Worry about the stressed out middle-aged business executives in 4WDs who are late for a date with their mistress.

It's tough to break side windows, like Mikkel said, you need something sharp and small. Wait until he's locked in at the lights, and remove his keys. It's naughty, but it stops him from chasing you. I've done this twice - both times because of naked agression - and both times I walked up and opened the door and grabbed the keys out with a reasonable degree of force. I told 'em both that they could pick up their keys from the local cop shop.

But I lied, clearly I threw the keys down drains - it's way expensive to replace keys and hassle factor is really enormous. I have this mental picture of both Fucktards going to the police station asking for their keys trying to explain why a biker would remove them in the first place...

Of course, I'm a reasonably solid sort of guy, and I was lucky both times that the fucktards were bullies (and therefore gutless).

[avgas]

What do you really expect from a country where nutters cant be locked up cos its inhumane

[Katman]

But I lied, clearly I threw the keys down drains -

Reminds me of a story of a m/c courier in London who did the same thing to a car driver in gridlocked traffic on one of the bridges over the Thames. The keys were removed and thrown straight into the river. Unfortunately it wasn't only the driver in question fucked off that night - he had to face the ire of the several hundred behind him as well.

(And no - I wasn't the courier).

last time someone did that to me i rode up beside them on their right side and punched his wing mirror. got that tip from someone on here..guy shit himself. in hindsight it could've made things far worse but it didn't so i'm happy with my choice :-)

fucking cagers. i've never owned a car and i don't think i ever will.

I had held onto his rear wing from some lights cause we were about to go up a hill, and he just went ballistic ... I smiled and waved ... and held on again ahhaha. ... I decided to have a word with him. ... His girlfriend in the passenger seat was shitting herself. ... I told him I do it all the time, and that it beats pedalling and laughed.

As a cyclist and biker this is pretty uncool. Annoying traffic for no good effect is what provokes the idiots to treat us all like dirt. Legally it also puts the car driver in a very dangerous position because he is liable for any accident you have/cause despite the fact that you have no business holding onto a car, which btw is illegal.

OMG...I just bought a Legacy...just need a beany now and a stereo that winds the windows down when playing shit.
Southern Motorway is good most days for demos on lane splitting...not for the faint hearted.

I can guarantee that it was a Legacy wagon.

For reasons I don't entirely understand, the Legacy is the car of choice for fuckwits.

[skidMark]

Basically what happened to me, except i got hit....

Then the guy lied to the cops and i got done.

Don't panic, you might only be a tosser! The complete fuckwits are recognisable by the 5" exhaust pipe.
And Forest wasn't quite correct with that quote, it's not just Legacy's but Impreza's as well.....starting to think that Subaru is Japanese slang for wanker....
