I feel I need to vent.......
Yesterday, Im on the Nothern motorway heading South from North Shore to East Tamaki. Sitting in the fast lane, comfortable speed, decent gap from the car in front. Check mirrors, car approaching, still quite some distance away..... few seconds later, check again and there he is, right on my ass. He must have been flying! sitting so close and making me most uncomfortable. Im waiting for a space on my left so I can pull over to let him pass but, theres no real opportunity for a while, traffics starting to get heavy. He is so close at this point I decide to wave him back. Shortly after, he spots a gap on the left and dives into it, pulls up beside me and gives me the finger!! so, naturally, being pissed off, I return the favour. He rolls down the window and we start exchanging words.... (like he can hear me through my helmet lol)
His biggest mistake? being a taxi driver. I arrive at destination and promplty get on the phone and lay a complaint.
Today, riding through Glenfield, 50k an hour zone. pissing with rain. 50-55..... flow of traffic speed. Mental bitch following me way too closely. check my mirrors to see where shes at... gone! check my blind spot on my left and there she is, nose of her vehicle so close to my left rear side of my bike it looks like there about to touch!! shes bloody well trying to undertake me!!.... im so fuming. let the horn rip and she promptly backs off.
This is Auckland after all, and we have these nutters on our roads. Normally I let it slide, but today I felt I had to post about it. Havent been online for a while and this is probably the best way to vent, so thanks for listening Kb. Im off to have another cup of you know what juice.
Cheers.
