Hi guys, This might be abit of a rant and to be honest im lucky to not be spending a while in the box with bars as had it not been for the hundreds of witnesses I would have battered this twat. Long story short-ish: Guy in front of me travelling at 40 in a 40 im behind him with about a cars length between us, we go down a hill and he then suddenly slams the brakes on to the point of stop. Im quick to react and only just stop but on the other side of the road, which was just incase I didn't stop. Heart thumping he then pulls away. So me thinks, right i'll get passed this guy and be outta here, just about to go round him and he pulls out in front of me and then slams the brakes on again! So i stay back from him and wait for the approach to the lights i know are coming up and and the road widens slightly. I get along side him and he doesn't acknowledge me at all but then goes through the red lights. I catch up with him moments later only to be soaked and i mean soaked by his wind screen washer. The first jet hit me straight in the face and from then on just soaked me. So we get into heavy traffic and i pull up ahead of him and run back to his car with the red mist descending and i let rip at him. He just sits there so i try and open the door and its locked. So i call the Police and they take 45mins to get to me and tell me at the end of it all that there is nothing they can do. I said to the Officer who noticed that i was stinking of his window washer what if he does this to someone else only in the order of washer first then he slams the breaks on ????? He said i might pop round and have a chat with him but i can't promise anything as he'll just deny it. If i had been a fraction of a second later than i was on the breaks i would have hit him without a doubt. This happened about two hours and the twat is going to get away with it. I wished i now had just put the window in and put him to sleep!! Anyway if you see anyone out there with there washers spraying over the top have a word with them as its out right dangerous!! f*****g W*****s!! :frusty:
LoL ... I love the above Ha Ha 10 out of 10 for not sparking him out mate .. After all that , the washer spray in the face would of made me blow a fuse ... What an A**Hole .. Should ban the muppets from driving before they hurt somebody
never experienced that but what a F**KER utter bastard. I would have followed him to where he lives. then think up a plan to not do harm but make my views on him trying to put you in hospital I don't know what I would have done but I can get a very short fuse sometimes bastards glad your OK in the end
thtas like car drivers when you try to filter that move out so you cant - what is the point in that you fooking twats.
Done it Twice and worn the tee shirt. Had a little ride out this morning and i was coming down a hill (which i know well ) There is the Pickup and extra long Caraven at a junction so i think here we go knocked it down a gear next thing outcomes the arsole all 40ft of it right in front of me with no one behind me .I had to break but it was'nt a big deal as i was half expecting it .But the question is WHY!!. Are humans really so thick ?
Publicly, I have to agree that exercising constraint was the correct course of action and congratulate you for it. However. If this had been you and me chatting in the pub I would endorse stapling his eyelids open just to make sure he couldn't miss me going 16th century on his fingers so that he could no longer pick his nose let alone hold a steering wheel and then fixed his mouth so it couldn't hold soup. But hey, Dev'. That's just me. A good one is to take their picture and their number plate with your phone, while smiling at them. You don't need to do anything else but I'll guarantee they have problems nodding off for a few days.
I,ve had a gypo spit on my bike because a bike once cut him up, seven to one and though I have a short fuse I'm Mike Tyson Not!! Its usually BMW drivers, wait a minute I drive a BM? No its Audi drivers, oh just a minute my wifes cars an Audi or am I generalising somewhat, just like car drivers do about THE BIKER? Your too vunerable on a bike to start pxxxxg about with car drivers and have you tried throwing a punch in your Alpinestar?
Back in the day, when I was young, stupid and, sorry to say, punchy. I worked for a large dry cleaning company. And during the course of time had to clean the stage curtains for a local theatre. These curtains had long, thin tubes of cotton about 3 or 4mm wide, stitched into the hems, and in these tubes, about 10mm apart were 10mm long strips of Lead, running the entire length. These had to be replaced every time they went into the cleaning machine so there were several of them lying around. One day I sewed one onto the upper side of my Left glove, running up from the heel to the tip of each finger and back down again, all the way around. Now, in those days I was 8 stone dripping wet but if I did manage to land one with that glove on I'd have a bloody good head start. Maybe that's why I'm attracted to Knox so much.
Well i definitely wanted to rip his head clean off his shoulders and would have been successful im sure. But only two things was ever going to save him that day. 1) my ever secretive role i do for a living and 2) the wife! But i even think i remember her saying that the "sniper rifle" should have gotten a use that day, gives it away a little i guess but hey ho! Cheers lads for the support on your views on looking back what should have been done but there is someone somewhere waiting for this guy and he'll come full circle again! However if he was in my field of vision within my role, i'd take him apart. Anyway i managed to have a decent blast with a BMW1000RR, not a bad rider but the Blade held firm even in the wet and he was soon a distant dot in the mirror was some dodgy lean angles though and some late breaking with the roads being so wet but that thing was sodding super fast in a straight line.
Yep what goes around comes around .. sometimes it takes a while but it always does ! Hope he gets fu**ing Shafted !! HA
haha well done indeed for not battering him but.. you were only a car's length away? isn't that tailgating? a cars length away is the stopping distance when in a queue of traffic (if not filtering) Its not enough to stay safe on the move, especially as once he'd done something stupid, i'd have kept well clear until I could have got past easier just my two pennies worth
He would have def got a full metal dianese pro up the side of his head!! Ha ha I hate pricks like this.... And all to often I'm afraid. I'm coming back off a 2 month gap as some (dare I say woman) driver decided to turn infront of me..as I'm picking myself up off the Tarmac she got out the car moaning and didn't even ask if I was ok!! General attitude to bikers is very poor. But sometimes we might not help ourselves????
Full metal Dianese. Love it. I might put that on my leathers. You're not wrong old chap. We're no longer vilified by polite society as much (I remember back in the day being thrown out of pubs just because of the leather) but we do tend to be regarded as an irritant by non biking road users. I like to think that it's because we get Lamborghini performance for Fiesta insurance and running costs, get through jams like they arn't there and tend to use the road for pleasure rather than necessity. But I'm afraid it's probably more along the lines of 'that b*****d got bloody close to my mirror then' or 'Listen to the bloody racket he's making' and the more often than not 'How the hell was I supposed to see you coming up that fast on the outside of the traffic'. The latter usually said to you as you're being picked up by two geezers in Green jumpsuits. The problem is that it only takes one biker, one time to piss someone off to colour their view forever. Even we're not immune to it. The Halfords advert Corsa springs to mind. It only takes one to cut you up and choke you with smoke for you to think 'wanker' everytime you see one. I suppose it's the price we pay for wanting to be a bit different to other people. Let's be honest, the 'lone, free road warrior' all boils down to wanting to be a bit naughty, really, and that means that, however subliminally, we want to upset the herd to a certain degree. The downside is that we make ourselves so vulnerable while doing it. I like to rationalise it by thinking that everybody else on the road is a psychopath with my name on their list and treat them accordingly. My problem has been that the reverse is more often the case.
