The Big Finger

**ital916** · 7th December 2007, 14:42

Was riding around today running in a new tire. Saw a mercedes pulling out into the lane next to me, so slowed down just in case. They pulled into the lane next to me, then just as i was passing she jerked into my lane, saw i was there and jerked back into hers. A big push of the wheeze that is my horn combined with evasive and she just looks at me through her massive tinted sunglasses and drives on. I gave her the big finger. Stupid I know. How many of oyu have given the cagers *and god forbid other motorcyclists lol* the big finger.

He's right-most people on here apparently kick the wing mirror off/punch door with reinforced knuckle gloves/gouge car with knee sliders.

Well, thats what they all say they'd do anyway

Dont give them the finger

Give them the fist on the roof

Wakes them up

And (if you're lucky) leaves a dent

Can't blame you...

About two weeks ago, hubby and I went for a pootle, with me as a pillion (a rare situation these days), and at an intersection, we were turning right upon our green light coming up.
As we do this, in the oncoming traffic lane (stopped at the red light), this moron goes through the red light towards us and keeps going even as he sees us

So, as my dear husband was too busy accelerating to get us out of there, I obligingly gave this prick the finger while staring at him...Interestingly enough, I saw he was busy texting away on his phone at the time!

Now, that's what I call team work!

Giving the fingers feels good at the time, but booting in the door of a car about to knock you off your perch is much more satisfying! Bugger of it is you end up hurting yourself.........LOL

FWIW mate, if you had time to toot meldiously at him you were in NO DANGER! What you experienced was called riding in traffic with car drivers that dont look is all.

I booted the door after we were all stopped - I blame adrenalin for my reaction

I gave the finger once. Twas after a lane change on the motorway by a non-looking car driver (funnily enough) Delivery after sale trip on my GN, youngster moved into my lane causing me to brake heavily, once he had his lane sorted, and I was behind him, i gave him the biggest peep on the horn, along with a happy one fingered salute. To his credit he looked totally blown away when he looked in his mirrors........LOL
