Don't worry about the nanna's or the Katman's, fuck em, some clown is happy to put your life on the line, the cops are either not interested or too busy, as long as you didn't go over board no prob in my humble opinion. What's the skinny?

Hey just keep your eye open He will be around again, let the plod know, thats what *555 is about.
though on the other side of the coin there was a couple of guys who had an old Valiant, that was slightly reinforced, they would follow an idiot like that and then figure out where he lived, then go get the Valiant, and give his car a little nudge in the middle of the night. not that I recomend that as a course of action.

You people sugesting Dave contacts the coppers, wast a time they wont give a shit and if they did theres nothing they can do.
Been in FAR worse suituations and achieved nothing through the cops, taking it into my own hands with the help of others (legally) well that went somewere.

ps: and its pointless abusing this guy with all the names that are being put forward, after all we all know it with out saying it.

What he sez

You need more than you have number-wise if you expect the cops to do anything - and despite you impression it is not a 'serious' issue to most cops, nobody was hurt, no property damaged, a "Failed to Drive Within the Lane" type ticket most likely.

IF you do see it again and get the number you could call into the cop-shop and make a complaint - and then keep chasing it up, however it's a bit of a bun-fight looming I suspect as it's word-against-word unless you can find a witness..

i thought about taking his mirror, but at that stage he'd only done his wee over takey thing, when he swerved at me I knew he was serious and bugged out.

if id tried to get his mirror and he'd swerved like he did I might've got knocked off anyway, so i think the get-the-fuck-out was a good choice.

wasn't until I was down the road that i noticed i was shaking a bit...good ol' adrenalin.

Wow that's astonishing really, he used his car like a weapon, couldn't intent to injure/attempted murder etc etc be argued?

The only three things you will achieve by intentionally taking off someones wing mirror:

1. Piss them off - they are not going to go home and cry about it, they are more likely to try and run you over again.
2. Put yourself even further in harms way.
3. Most likely reinforce any observers opinion that bikers have it coming.

... stupid, not worth it, don't do it - simple really. Now, if you instead find out where the idiot lives and do something proper about it - that is an entirely different matter.

Also, not all wing mirrors are created equal - a shitty punch can fuck your hand/wrist and/or cause you to fall off your bike.

cheah

that's what i was thinking knowing my rotten luck it'll be a reinforced wing mirror that'll bite back, ill break my hand, fall off the bike, scuff the bike up, and maybe go under his wheel...pass

The streets down here are mean.

Full of arses & agro buggers with little respect for anyone else on the road.

I drive my car to work. If I sit on the legal limit bastards tailgate or sound their horns at me. If I'm piddling along in traffic and let someone in often the vehicle behind me will tailgate, wave fists and sound the horn.

Keep well away from any Skyline - there's a 95% chance it will be travelling sideways within the next 2kms. Ditto any old crapped out piece of shit driven by a male wearing a beanie or a cap.

There's a shit load of mufti vans with speed cameras hidden in the back pinging you if you are doing 55.

But if you do get a ticket rest assured that the payment will go directly towards making our roads safer........

Consider yourself lucky and flag the lane splitting.

Ok so humour me for a moment & assume there are witnesses. One could draw a few other scenarios where an object is used "with intent to injure".

Was new to living in Auckland back in 1992, wasn't really into bikes at that stage, sitting in traffic on Queen st, a biker splits us to the front where he promptly nuts off at the driver at the front of the cue yelling "IF YOU DONT USE IT YOU DON'T NEED IT" & then kicks his wing mirror off. I remember sitting there thinking to myself, "well he must of done something pretty bad to piss him off so much". Not once did I think badly about bikers. Would have to be a pretty small minded person to actually think ALL of a cross section of society were "bad" from witnessing one particular person. Tis one of the flaws with Katmans rantings, he assumes ALL bikers are being branded with the same brush if a biker is seen doing something silly. One hell of an assumption

Don't lane split because the 1% of morons out there don't like it?



Check up from the neck up

If your good just put your foot out and swerve at him then boot , Im amazed at how much damage you can do. I've been practicing swerve ...boot! its all in the timing. It just takes practise (and a lack of a number plate)
Ps At over 120kmhr be a bit careful

[Dave-]

damage? to who?

The trick is to punch the mirror downwards. Picture a Viking pounding on the bar for another beer.

I'm pretty relaxed about that kind of thing -- let him scream off in a cloud of tyre smoke, I just continue to merrily pootle along my way with a vague smile on my face. If the numpty insists on staying behind you, tailgaiting and weaving around, find some traffic and stuff yourself down between the lanes.

I do enjoy playing at complete ignorance; sit next to some loud fast car revving its engine, light goes green, gently ease off (not looking at him once) and leave the guy behind. Few seconds later once you're up to the 50kph limit he comes screaming by at 70kph+. Don't look at him!. Pulls in front of you into your lane, joins the traffic queue at the next lights. Completely ignoring him, you dawdle back past him between the lanes at walking pace. So satisfying!
