Little Old Ladies...god bless 'em

Ahh well, if I made her day for her, all good...

If she'd been sixty years younger, I might have offered her a ride...

Haven't you people learned yet. When you use the public road, you are sharing it with all sorts of noobs and tards. Bicycle courier rule number 1. DO NOT EXPECT ANYONE EVER TO DO THEIR BIT TO NOT KILL YOU. BC rule number 2 BECAUSE YOU CAN'T RELY ON OTHER PEOPLE TO FOLLOW THE RULES, YOU ARE THUS EXEMPT FROM ALL RULES TO TAKE WHATEVER ACTION IS REQUIRED TO KEEP YOURSELF SAFE. P.S. These rules are not seen a court action defendable, so don't get caught.

This means that instead of following the speed limit which will put you in a position where someone is able to merge into you, you have to make the decision to either speed up (possibly to an illegal speed) or slow down (and risk being rear ended by a driver "that didn't see you). Or you can just put yourself in the "ghost lane" (refer to lanesplitting bible).

Don't get me started aboyt l'il ol' ladies.

Went to Woolworths with the kids the other day, pulled into the angle car parks there. As I stopped there's this silly old bird in a Toyota Corolla 3dr import thing about to back out next to me. I'm watching in the LH wing mirror as she looks over her left shoulder, LH down, out she goes, dragging the front right of her bumper a foot and a half down the side of my left rear guard.

I jump out and step out in front of her, gesturing at the big white scrape clearly visible down the side of my car and the dumb bitch just sits there staring at me.

I turn around to tell the kids to stand by the car and the old bat drives around me and off on her merry way! No appology, nothing! So I holler at the kids to get buckled up, back (carefully) out of the park and brun rubber out onto Gt South Road to get her rego details.

Some people just have no fricken regard for others or their property. I thank Christ my daughter hadn't climbed out of the car earlier, she would probably got squished between the cars.

[Swoop]

She'll be dining out on her side of story for weeks!

Probably a thread already started on www.kiwigrannycager.co.nz.

A Ding in the new car already Jimmy. That sucks.

As it transpires, the mark polished off, no worries.

Funny though, a week into ownership Sue took it to the same fucken supermarket and someone scuffed the other corner of the rear bumper.

Suffice to say it goes nowhere near supermarkets now

I just can't wait to be a little old lady!

I will drive through every kind of intersection as if it's not there, and drive at a constant 70kph whether I'm on the open road or around town or driving over a pedestrian crossing covered in school kids (kids these days need more exercise anyway... it will do them good to jump out of my way).

In my car I will have a yappy little terrier named Rex who will be my constant companion and only friend. Rex will never criticise my driving!

And when some rude biker tries to remonstrate with me, I will call him 'Dear' and hold my hand up to my ear as if I am trying to hear him... but bikers make no sense so I will just pat him on the arm and say "Yes Dear, lovely day for a ride!"

Everybody will love me, I will be beyond reproach, and I will crochet doilies for all of you for your birthday.

...driving over a pedestrian crossing covered in school kids (kids these days need more exercise anyway... it will do them good to jump out of my way).

Not a good idea. Kids are like three-toed sloths when on a crossing and all the bits are very difficult to get out of the front grille.

[Cynos]

I've often wondered if we need "E" signs for these folk.

(They can't help getting old, so I have some sympathy for them.)

It's like L=Learner but instead E=Elderly.

Gives us all a warning.

we'd "sell" it as E=Experienced.

(Of course, the way some L drivers/riders get bullied by other road users, maybe not a good idea...)

Talking to a coworker about this, he was telling me that in Japan they have leaf stickers for their cars - green leaf for newbies, brown leaf for old people.

Pot smokers should also put leaves on their cars. Especially the ones from jamaica

[MSTRS:Me]

I didn't know Jamaica made cars...

I AM sixty years older...

Do you know the LilOleLady I was referring to then? 'cause that's JUST what she was like...apart from the dog bit...

Incidentally, further research suggests that she is a member of the notorious DGAR gang that lurks in Perrinpark Retirement Village at Te Kowhai....

(that's Dutch Grannies Against the Rules...)

[MDR2]

What can ya do? Just look out for 'em I guess and stay the fuck out of their way!

Punch her in the chops, rape her then ride off while dragging her corpse behind your bike down the main drag as a lesson to anyone else stupid enough to cross a motorcyclist.


DUH!
