    Sorry, the car was all but out of shot, why did you not just accelerate in front of the bint instead of moving behind. There looked to be room between you and the truck in front?

    Did these still frames come from a video, could you post that?

    LOL, I try to never let them get me angry (Besides...they have half a ton of argument ending steel at their desposal)...and I learnt many yrs ago....some cars have cast-iron mirrors! lol
    I have, however, submitted an online report so the police can call her and have a talk.

    A long loud blast on the stebel usually wakes them up. Just watch out when they swing madly in the opposite direction and almost run off the road - brilliant

    I didn't accelerate because its quicker and much safer to brake and just let them go (I had a clear lane behind me), as the car's nose/front is coming in before the end/rear of the car (angle wise), so theres more room to maneuver/dodge at the back end of the vehical when braking in this circumstance, and accelerating could result in the car clipping my rear end if i shot past(and I look like the unsafe road user)....then its gonna get messy!
    (The above is what my advanced rider trainer taught me many yrs ago...so I use it)
    As for the vid....at work no access to my youtube etc (and no BB @ home )...will try and post it when I get the chance tho

    if they're dumb enough to do this what are they gonna do when they hear a Stebel in their Ear, panic and flip sideways and rollover.
    It's not always clever to scare a dumb person sadly...

    That's why you have to be very careful and give then plenty of room!

    Gah. Mate! I hate that stuff. I've been hit like that once and the weird thing was that the woman driving the car kept trying to push me out of the way once she'd made contact. The Stebel didn't make her sod off either.

    Maybe you should consider a boat or something, at least until the "run into willy" season passes.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    The other alternative is wait until you get past and then the old 'spark plug fell out of my pocket' Oops - did it hit your windscreen?

    I like the idea of you riding with a camera. How did you mount it to the bike?
