Push in over? I'll keep an eye out for a flat vtr. As for the hi-vis hate, yeah man screw those guys for wanting to be a bit more visible, what dicks, they probably don't even mind wearing their helmets.

Saw a scooter dude in a tee shirt and shorts absolutely scream through very slow traffic on vivian street the other day ...
Weaved past me as I was carefully splitting. I was just waiting for a lane changer and watch him cartwheel ...

Not as dumb as the boyracer muppet the other day that flew past me in a 50k zone, 100 metres up the road indicated left, pulled over then immediately U turned right in front of me. Mary mother of god, I was so tempted to turn and chase him down.

haha yea that did occur to me, but I felt like giving him a taste of the hard knuckle panels on my Triumph Expeditions...

he looked to be a skinny little knob.

It seems they think just because they are on a 50cc scooter they are immune to "motorcycle crashes"

I'd hazard a guess at my mirrors being just as wide as yours. Though your ego seems to be limitless.
I stand by the "fucking idiot" remark.

I have to say that the experience of splitting (a necessity for me now getting into the city at peak travel times) means I've become more adept at it. The mental effort it takes though is compounded by also having to "watch out" for bum bandits who feel that those of us doing our best have to shove over. For what it's worth, my eyes are doing a constant check for riders coming up my behind and do move across asap to let them through. People who feel the need to split at considerably higher speeds than mine surely are clever enough to pick another "inbetween" lane than the one I'm in!
