You would think they would learn...

[fireball]

Excuse my rant but hell.... Mr Plod im not impressed and i had to change my undies when i got home

ok i was heading home last night about 11ish so not too late minding my own doing the speed limit in the right hand wheel track of a car i was following about 2 car lengths behind as you do (like any other normal rider would, there are a few exceptions to the rule) was half way up not very steep incline up the road when the unthinkable happens....

without warning, indicators, lights or sirens an HP car coming down the hill swings across my lane to do a U turn, didnt see the oncoming bike did they??.... you would think they would have fucking learnt by now!!!! so i emergency break praying not to go over the boot of the cop car looming infront of me nose in a driveway and me swearing profusely..... long story short i almost soiled myself but i stopped in time thank god for that!!

but really WTF use your eyes shouldnt you all know the road rules and learnt from recent previous mistakes?
surely the cops dont need to be scraping another biker off the road....

it's just their way of making sure that you ride safely...

Did he stop? Say anything to you? Anything?

Why didnt you take note of the time, the location, the reg no
then go and lay a fromal complaint with the police with a statement of the events, against the driver of the car?
They are not above the law.
You have the right to complain that you were nearly toast!

The police cannot refuse your complaint, and they would know which unit it was and who was driving it.

Its a pity more people dont report dangerous antics of the police drivers,
I have more than once.
They have a disapline section for this sort of shit, but can only act on complaints.

yeap as above write a formal letter if you didnt get rego time date road they will be able to track down car and driver and follow it up with anoying letters every week untilll you get a reply last thing we need is more bikes nailed by U-Turing cops

[Okey Dokey]

I hope you do make a report. That sort of carelessness in just not on.
