Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - hotmetal - 10-02-16
Just write "selfish illiterate foccer" on the windscreen with lipstick. (Sure your Mrs would have one she don't like). It's a sod to get off. Mind you then he'll be even more myopic on the way back and probably knock more bikers off.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Freck - 10-02-16
Is it really so foccing difficult or time and energy consuming for people to use indicators?!? :groan
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - joebloggs - 10-02-16
I love the ones who don't indicate on round about. Always fun trying to second guess which way they're going....

Had a BMW (what else) move over to the other side of the road in front of me last week, didn't indicate or anything, but i stupidly presumed he wanted the parking space.
So as he's now out of my way i carry on to go past him and he then goes for a left hand u-turn.
Wtf?
The air horn came in to play, and my headlights shining through his passenger window gave him a bit of a fright, then he apologised.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - hotmetal - 10-02-16
My IAM observer got taken out big time by a BMW doing an illegal and unexpected u-turn. He moved left, she assumed he was taking the next left, continued past in the right hand lane of the dual carriageway only to find he had moved left to get a bigger swing at the (no u-turns signed) gap in the central reservation. She had to be taken away in the air ambulance, and the BMW driver just trotted out some lame crap to the judge about being a CEO and needing his car, he did get done but not nearly commensurate with the damage to her and her bike that he wilfully caused by being a typical BMW cockwomble. He had no chance of doing a runner though - the car behind him was old bill.

The Judge should have said "Buy a train ticket until you pass a re-test..."

Not so with my accident where the young scrote turned into me without looking or indicating and got away with it because it was his word against mine that he signalled. :o
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - hotmetal - 11-02-16
Sorry to hear that Freck. It really is luck of the draw who's on the road near you, whether they are good drivers or whether they'll stop if they witness something. I got knocked off my old FZR600R by some buffoon diving into a parking space on the other side of the road just as I was overtaking. He knew it was his fault but insurance said I hit rear quarter so they blamed me. Then some old dear came along and started having a go at me about how all the bits of plastic fairing were making the place untidy and I'd better pick them up! I was like WTF? Yeah of course madam, as soon as I get this f***Ing motorbike off me I'll get the broom out! FFS!
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - crickleymal - 12-02-16
Dear Lord! Some people are amazing (if that's the right word).
I've had a couple of clumsy cnut moments where I've dropped the bike and people just don't offer to help, they just look at you as though you're a circus act.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - DILLIGAFF - 14-02-16
Back in my courier days I had a woman step out from behind a van, right in front of me. BANG! Me, her and my bike all over the road. Within seconds a lynch party congregated all muttering about how bikers are a danger on the road and I must have been going too fast etc.
No fucker asked if I was OK or offered to help.

What you mean 'his Mrs would have one she don't like' he's got loads of his own. :lol

First Buses going at 20MPH to save fuel on a 30 MPH route---arseholes feck

I know someone who even failed their advanced driving exam for driving too slowly.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - BBROWN1664 - 03-03-16
:agree
Nowdays you have to go that slow to avoid the potholes and numpty pedestrians who step out without looking.

Idiots who dazzle you with badly adjusted HIDs and when you point at them and shade your eyes, think it's clever to hit the high-beams to leave you totally blind :2guns
