Ususally you just ignore them immediately and then do it without saying.

yeah but when you can get them actually saying abusive things and swearing at you you can get them banned and that makes me smile sometimes

Ban Cars. (frigging 10 charactor minimum).

i would rate the uz125 as the best weapon for inner city driving myself your probably lucky its so manouverable that you didnt come off or get hit,i have an icident just about everyday but tend not to get angry or abusive at the cars drivers cause as someone else said youve got to ride as if nobody sees you,
today i was riding up between two long lanes of stationary traffic at a red light and a car suddenly opens its driver door to check something about 5 metres in front so i had to swerve quickly and with not much room to escape,not really the cars fault it just happens, and i dont crawl going through traffic either

very true points, sadly to take advantave of being on two wheels kind of inherantly has these risks i suppose.

Er, did I just miss something there? Sounded like a not-too-unreasonable rant to me.

thank you for that,
sadly there are people in every friendly community who feels its necessary to ridicule the people who, you know, express feelings and emotions..

I was gonna get killed last week, head on with a taxi van. I was heading home from mates house on st lukes rd heading to mt eden i was on the left lane and a car infront of me indicated to turn left so i decided to go on right lane as soon as i did that i so this van in front of me, slammed front brakes managed to do a stoppie and i slightly touched him though no damage. I was so angry that i was gonna beat the living out of him....

Why dont you plaster that all over the walls, barriers, fences, houses, sign posts and tarseal that bikers seem to hit pretty well on its own accord.

Beware the cloak of invisiblity when ridding a bike, cover you own ass and cover your brake!!

yeah, generally the way i try to approach anything on the road be it driving/riding or what have you is treat everyone around you like they are deaf dumb and blind idiots..

sadly shit like your van and my bloke pulling up right next to me are things that ya just cant predict ><

glad you got out of that one okay as well mate.. i have actually found taxi's to be notoriously bad, even worse than old ladies in mercedes.. i have a story about one of them too haha
