Incident this arvo.
Location: Newmarket, Auckland.
Traffic lights at bottom of Khyber Pass and Broadway and I am heading towards Parnell past the Olympic Pool on my scoot bike.
I filter up on the left to the lights (in the Bike Lane). This position sets you up about 2 metres ahead of the traffic in the 2 right lanes. I have a SUV directly on my right and behind.
Lights change and I fang off (relatively for a 125cc Scoot) getting ahead of the traffic by a good margin. Probably 60kmh p/h and ahead at this point.
Suddenly I sense and see in my mirrors, the SUV accelerating hard on my shoulder while up ahead the lanes narrows to a single lane. There was no way this vehicle was going to give me room to shift right and in fact it narrowed the space down so much that as it passed the parked cars on the left...it would have collected a door should one have opened.
I have no doubt this was an aggressive and deliberate action to take me out as a response to my filtering up to the front.
Luckily I braked and eased off as I sensed the danger but the SUV missed me by half a metre or less.
I chased it through the roundabout until it stopped at the lights up by the Mobil Service Station. Luck would have it that the passenger window was down and I gave her a f**ckin earful. I resisted the urge to do the "mirror thing"
She could not get to the window control fast enough and she knew what she had done.
Murderous aggressive bitch. (which I told her about)
(Shame ....she was a hottie too)
