**** me some idiots about.
cyclist in the uk can only uses road or cycle lanes, so OP nice one on breaking the law.
horses: fields are owned by farmers who usually have shoot guns and also make there money from them so dont take to 1 tonne beasts churning them up. and when there in the road respect them coz your car no matter if its a ú50 Nissan blue bird or a god dam veron will get ****ed up if the horse flips and uses its 1 tonne mass to put its metal shoed leg through your car, so not really worth getting squashed for having to wait a bit is it really.
as for motor bikes yes some ride like **** but they are all usually far better trained then car drivers and more aware of the road and dangers.
with the Ferrari story yes total over reaction but last time i checked under taking is illegal and undertaking a speeding bike will also break many other road rules so the car driver was a total twonk.
i had this the other day.
duel carriageway that runs along a school so the first lane is always a car park so the traffic flows along the center over the center wight line in a single file. so the traffic dose 5mph leaving the outer 1/2 of a lane clear which i can fully take advantage off and usually travel past everyone. some fool decides this is just terrible and basically tried to run me off the road pulling out at 45o from the traffic flow to cut me up and stop my progress. thankfully i say this and quickened my pace and cleared his car before his stupidity coursed an issue, bearing in mind i dont fly past the traffic at high speed and am doing less than the limit on the road when when i rushed to keep my self safe.
the driver forgets that if a bike stays in the file it takes up as much room as a car holds the que up and increases the time for everyone behind
and also that had he knocked me off in that situation i would have been fully able to walk up to his basically trapped and slow moving car and smash the complete side of it and when the driver exits to object that my boots and steal reinforced and my gloves have carbon fiber reinforced knuckles so i would have mad sort work of him too.
so all in all its car drivers that are the worse skilled on the roads who basically zombie there way across the city's in sleep mode taking no interest in anything than the car in front so they can play follow the leader and not have to switch on there brains

Originally by: Dr Slaughter
Originally by: annoing 2 weeks later I got a phone call from my solicitor telling me that no action was to be taken.
which frankly is a great shame as from your own description of the events, IMHO you sound like a total idiot.
Out of interest though, as frankly, your account sounds like fabrication, why on earth would they contact you to pay for the damage? They surely had your insurance details at point of arrest and the videoed damage to the car would be pretty clear cut for the insurance company to pay out.
Or did they end up paying you ú30k to keep the story from the pages of the News of the World?
if you read it and assuming its true all he did was remove a wing mirror which is not an accident its vandalism and had only recently been included by insurers.
the bike hitting the car was coursed by the driver pulling the bike in to it, yes a technicality but hay insurance works on them.
and he may be an idiot but you forget the original indecent which is that the Ferrari undertook at excess of the speed limit and hit another road user without reporting an accidental or exchanging insurance details.
which is 4 separate offenses so if it was a high qualified driver as all government related drivers would have to be then yes its quite probable that with a good lawyer that it was drooped and i would bet that non disclosure would be part of the agreement for such cases as both parties would be liable for rather serious offenses if it were to come out.
this is all possible if its true will we ever know no its the internet, one would hope that people can level there epeening to coad. as a biker the basic idea and result of the post are very true to often drivers take silly risks when they see bikes beating them through city and traffic.

my comments were in general about bikes, any one can see the person you were on about should have used said cyclist lane but your post read very anti cyclists on the road full stop so i was replying to the general reading of the post.
as for all bikers being race repliers hardly.
yes i have a sports bike its a Honda CBR 600F which is actually far from full sports are very good at cursing and commuting unlike the harder versions such as the RR and its rivals.
i havent been past triple figers on it, though i have many in cars
and yes i "would" have killed the fool, read in the post the indecent was avoided by me acting, thats would be avoiding a conflict!
but you will also read the car i was on about had no were to go and just decided to cut me up to stop my progress he could not over take move up or make any progress at all.
so basically he had decided to uses his car as a weapon to stop me had he hit me id have considered that premeditated and just sort of attempted murder so yes i would have ****ed the fool up im sure anyone would that just get basically attacked, there was no accident in his actions |
