    Is it time to start doing bodywork and/or wing mirror modifications on these wankers? It's the only way they'll learn.
    And nobody mention *555 ALRIGHT!
    At the risk of getting canned, I put all this down to daylight saving. Too many tired drivers out there. I wonder how the accident stats 'stack up' for this time of year. :spudwhat: :spudwhat:

    The stories you guys and girls have to tell about near misses is scary.
    I feel freaked out enough when I just miss getting hit when I'm in the cage, never mind feeling vulnerable and open on a bike.

    DAMN!!!! That's just something you DON'T FUCKIN DO!!! And they are Hell's Angels to boot.

    On another note I saw a bike the other day that had a car's side mirror for his mirror. Only had the one so I guess it only happend the once but it was a cool way to warn other idiots that crossing a biker is dangerous.

    Then (can be later, even days later , if that suits), call in, looking very respectable (I make a point to wear a suit and tie). Ask to speak to either the HR manager or the GM .

    Point out that the driving attitudes of their staff are a social liability. Point out also that employers have at least a social responsibility for the behaviour of people on their way to work . A lot of these onanists are driving company vehicles. Once HR hear about bad driving in a company vehicle they tend to become quite PC and "don't endorse such behaviour, oh no no no ".

    So the wan**r gets in strife with the boss

    And, yes, yes, I am the sort of prick that will take the trouble to do that.

    As far as *555 goes, I used to use it, then I heard that the police completel;y ignore it - it's just window dressing. And half the time you can't even get an answer. At the best of times, I can't actually imagine the police taking a complaint from a biker very seriously.

    Also, I don't really like the idea of people dobbing each other in. The problem is that it gets abused by Stan and Mabel, busy phoning *555 to report "this dreadful motorcyclist racing around at monstrous speeds, and behaving ever so rudely"
    What a bloody good idea. I'm also the sort of prick that would also do that. Will have to give it a go at some time
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
