Let's talk about drivers who wash their windscreen - while you're behind them

[@ndy]

It seems I might complained about something silly by popular opinion... Must be a foreigner thing to complain about...
Me sorry.

I have to admit I have washed my winscreen from time to time while I have been tail gated by a rider .

It's not a nice thing to do but my car has much better brakes than any bike.

Those Harleys have all the accessories.

Bit late to this party...but if I'm catching the window washer spray from the car in front I'd be reconsidering my need to tailgate

[skinman]

yet another reason not to ride directly behind cars..as if you needed one more

I've had my windscreen (in the car) washed by the car in front while maintaining more than a 2 second gap.

Once again... Riding in the sunset... SUV in front of me just slow down, driver has no sunglasses can't see a thing obviously, and there it goes, once again, full on spray of misty water and bugs killer all over my face and my freshly washed Bike... I beep to him, guy pulls the finger at me...
Wasn't even that close to him... But apparently is my fault, I should have brought a towel on my ride!

Fuck mate you live 3 houses down the road from me and it looks like you work for the same cunts. Recognize that helmet in the display pic. You were on the patriots run too.

Don't worry about Crasher mate,he's about as welcoming on KB as herpes.
In fact if you meet him in person he'll more than likely greet you with a cheery smile and a hot coffee.
A word to the wise is be wary because one or both could mean a HD sales pitch or a dose of the clap...


...either way,your fucked.

I think no one wants to admit there is something a cage driver can do to you that you can do nothing about... well without risking a jail term so everyone pretends it doesn't happen lol... It don't bother me if its a genuine wash, but those tuggers who hate bikes and do it as a joke when your stuck behind them on a no passing stretch... I still laugh and think how sad must their life be that they need to do that for kicks...

I see your transition to grumpy old man is now complete....

And just to spite you....I am going to reply to this thread.

A little water doesn't hurt and it is better that cage in front of you has a clean windscreen than not. If you get a big dose....you are too close. If it's yellow.....then you have a right to be angry. The time spent worrying about something trivial is time not paying attention to the shit that you should be.

Take it as a lesson learned, if the old bastards on here who have been riding since bikes were powered by steam think you should be paying more attention to the road or your riding, it is advice possibly well heeded.
