Who's had a door opened at them whilst riding?

Yes, you're doing the splitting. It's your place to avoid everyone else.

So.. she has no responsibility to look where she's going?

Bullshit..

What came first - the chicken or the egg?

No clue and it really doesn't matter, but I never hit them intentionally. I do believe people did intentionally try to squeeze me out of passing them. Those that were successful, I couldn't pass, those that weren't, I might have clipped them.

If you hit my car whilst splitting, you'd be well advised to remember the car to look for the next morning... Sure I'd get a ticket for having a 'senior moment' that ultimately saw you over the handlebars and into intensive care, but I'd wager it'd be a small one. Splitting makes sense in stationary traffic imho, but don't fucking hit other peoples vehicles for fucks sake.

On the other side of the coin, I take a VERY dim view of people that try to kill me because they think it's funny.

Being in a cage does not give anyone the right to intentionally attempt murder. In doing so, they deserve everything they get

Had a door open on me while filtering on the northern motorway here on the shore, luckly i was told bout that shit happening. Reacted quick enough to stop, only one person was in the car and that was the driver so let him go and he lost his passenger mirror. Oops i guess.

Oh, I keep forgetting to thank you for your recommendation of the CRG bar end mirrors - that sturdy billet alloy doesn't mark at all no matter how many times you thwack them back against car wing mirrors.

They do make a nice "thwack" sound. Nothing like hearing it and seeing the brief flash as their mirror goes flipping back at them. It's like thunder and lightning, they go together so harmoniously... The joy, the joy...

I once saw a bus take out the door of a Mecedes. Guy opened the door as the bus was coming in to park up against the kerb. The look on the drivers face..............priceless.
