Now before I rant, I'd like to point out that I own and drive a van as my other transport and have nothing against people who drive them apart from..,,,
In the last 2 weeks I've had works van drivers almost pull out on me making me brake suddenly as I'm not psychic and don't know "they've seen me". Both have then immediately started a tirade of abuse at me and one got out of his van to start on me. If if have stuck around I'm sure we would've had a full on fist fight. Now I may have missed something and perhaps the Highway Code has been changed since I last looked, but I'm pretty sure riding in a straight line along a road is normal and legal motorcycle behaviour. I'm just shocked at how easily both these blokes have got so aggressive instantly when I've not stopped in the middleof the road to let them get on with whatever the hell they were doing.
In short, what the hell is the problem with van driving morons at the moment?!!
