Cagers are constantly inventing new ways to cause crashes. I wouldn't want to take the risk of proving that theory wrong.

I would have done it much faster than that .. nothing wrong with what he did (might have been illegal - but that's not the same thing ..

If that's what you call "filtering" then it's mild ..

Had worse today, watched some kid go off road, onto the footpath and barrel along past a mother and her child to avoid going through traffic. Fortunately caught up with him at the lights and informed "nicely" not to do it again else he could possibly be swimming with his bike round his neck. Man some people.

Back in South Africa, I used to drive my car like that (but faster)... my reasoning was "there is no way a hi-jacking crew is gonna risk their life trying to steal my car"

...also, the cops didn't give a shit... pretty sure they were trying to solve murders, rapes and other actual crimes

Didn't look that bad to me.

Yeah, you always have to watch out for those fucking cheeky kaffirs. It's why I left the place, as there's just too many of those dumb monkeys.

That's nothing, looks like sensible pace relative to flow.

traffic flowing at 80kph, you were being passed both inside and out and you have the nerve to point the finger for someone (IYO) being a dick.

Maybe if people didn't drive so slow in the middle and outside lanes with disregard of those around them bikers, and cages, wouldn't feel the need to do this just to get somewhere in a reasonable time.

Obviously never driven a large truck have you petal.
The left hand lane finishes not far past hill road so you are forced to merge right which in peak traffic ain't so easy in a B train or 40' semi
The motorists simply won't let you in. May well be limited to 90kph , some thing I hate by the way. Plenty of distance ahead of him so plenty of stopping room.
The car on the left is merging because the lane ends, plenty of room for him to do it
All good in my eyes , exactly what I would do

Boris , gotta walk a mile in a truckie's shoes before spouting rubbish.

The motorists simply won't let you in. just do what you truckie's do normally, just pull over.
