    Obviously far too difficult, but goes well with a previous post about speeding up at the end of passing lanes to stop people overtaking.

    There seem to be many aspects of the thing where ignorance is the predominant characteristic.

    Oh boy, there's been a problem a lot longer with cassina spouting her brand of "advice" on KB

    When it comes to exploring the depths of her stupidity, I'm constantly amazed by how much more garbage is spouted forth by her

    But hey, best I just shut up and walk away...

    It's a struggle though - like watching a kid stick their finger into a mouse trap, do you tell them NO, or let them learn a life lesson?

    Not really, if it was at a pub you would say " is that the time I must be off".

    Its amusing anyone replies really especially those TLTR ones.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    I tried ignoring it, but its stupidity cannot remain unanswered. I mean, seriously? speeding up to get past a stopped bus not knowing what may walk out or drive out from in front of it? That level of fuckwittery has to be answered.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Having someone try and overtake when you are running out of road is not a desirable thing and I remember some months back someone on here was almost taken out by someone doing a last minute overtake at the end of a passing lane. By speeding up at the end you are not likely to be at risk from a last minute overtaker.

    Please. Stop giving out your advice. It's appallingly bad advice, and most people who followed it would end up badly hurt, or worse.

    It's time for you to calm down and take some time out now. Well past time. I am so pleased that your opinions are getting short shrift here as every time I read one of them my sphincter starts to pucker before I get half way through.

    Please. Stop.

    Is a dog driving the bus? is petty revenge the reason you do what you do?

    By speeding up ... you usually find what was an overtaking maneuver ... turns into a race.

    The kiwi desire to be in front.

    So you have been hit by a bus as well? Did you not see the bus in front of you? are you not aware that motorcycles are not overly visible in a bus mirror? And the best part is, after you were hit by a bus pulling out in front of you, your response now is when you see a bus you speed up? yeah the bus driver will really be expecting that.
