I'm thinking it was either the dying days of 1969 or the eraly days of 1970. February '70 IIRC, but it was a long time ago whatever the year. but he was driving trucks in the 1950s and simply sent The only way -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Exactly. I feel the same way about bikers until I'm a biker and then I behave in probably a worse way than the cunts I've waved my fists at. You fail to mention whether you were failing to indicate and just decided to pull out or trying to cut in to avoid sitting in a nearside lane full of traffic etc. That'll be it then.
I'm probably the most courteous of cage drivers when I see bikes. I always pull over in a deliberate/obvious way so the approaching bikes knows I've seen him and doesn't have to wonder if I'll suddenly swap lanes and **** him up. It comes as a GREAT surprise to them when I do, mind. The **** chopped me up on a roundabout at the beginning of the M56 (the Welsh end) when I had right of way (seeing as how I was already on the 'bout when he decided to forget he should stop, or at least give way. I ended up ON the roundabout, and I didn't like it much, so I set about redressing the balance. Safely, of course. Chickenshit truckers, but thankfully, not murderers -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
That is reassuring, actually, to see that they've seen you I mean. It does add a bit of pressure to make a manoeuvre that you might not make though. Still, I'll still give a wave of thanks if they (or anyone else) goes out of their way to let me go. Including coppers He was probably rolling a cigarette or on the phone ;-) Equilibrium rocks. Ramming you up the arse isn't winning though, is it? Not deliberately I mean and if it had've happened by accident then it was the balance Gods putting the world to rights for an earlier wrongdoing then, innit. Fnarr
I'#m quite patient when it comes to making an overtake. A couple of seconds "lost" waitning until I'm not likely to twat anything coming the other way is all it usually takes and theose seconds are pretty quickly clawed back on a bike. Still, I'll still give a wave of thanks if they (or anyone else) Me too, Always. I have a theory that if you acknowledge a driver who's pulled over, the next driver does too and I rarely get baulked by some twattish actions from drivers. Oh indeed. Pre mobile days but the fag's a definite possibility. Or he was simply a **** and I think that's more likely. Big truck, small car, I'm king of the road sort of attitude when *anyone* knows speed is king. And some limestone rocks too if memory serves. I was banking on him not doing it deliberately, and as this was 30 summat years ago, the road rage thing hadn't reached epidemic proportions, so he wasn't likely to. That forced him to take evasive action when I braked (not hard, just enough to slow the **** down) and he tried to get up my nearside. THAT wasn't happening either as I just kept pulling over and over, forcing him to do the same. He couldn't catch me or pass me coz he wasn't fast enough, so he took the only route available, but I bet he was fucking blazing in that cab Oo-er missis. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
It's not just the couple of seconds; I find it makes the whole journey smoother if you go when you're ready. You've got a point but I'll not give a fucking inch if they don't indicate or otherwise behave erratically, unless it'd mean 20 minutes in the office explaining the accident. Brimstone rocks, too :-\
