Is violence the answer?

[Itchy]

To many of the problems that occur on the road I mean ,

considering the judiciary are impotent made more so by full prisons , police are often too busy to deal with RTAs and often don't prosecute for obvious RTAs that were entirely the fault of one party.

Is violence the answer? , since doing nothing means those people who affect us are emboldened since nothing happens to them, and many BCFers get angry go ape shit , then calm down and chalk it up again to experience. , I have actually tried to put my boot into car doors a few times but have often missed or its been wet and I've not done any damage.

Like the case with Dragonfly , she was nearly wiped out , the guilty party didn't bat an eye lid , following and smashing windscreen would have given some comeuppance,

Though I'm no believer of Karma unlike some BCFers such that I don't think this will sort people out for their actions.


Any thoughts?

In most cases, I expect it will prove to the driver how it was the biker that was the dangerous lunatic - in future it may even make give bikers even less room.

It will make the biker feel better, however.

Meh thats a resounding no then ,

looking at another thread where a bike hits a cop car , and the coments at the bottom that we are ALWAYS wrong , its not a good idea

I only ever feel like smashing some twats windscreen but in reality i wouldnt do it as it would land me in more trouble than the offending driver, i prefer to give a good verbal lashing and sort things out in the street, perhaps even get an apoligy or if there has been an accident swap details or loose temper with no violence, dont think you can get done for swearing at someone. wait for cops etc, while shouting about how much thats going to cost if youe lucky enough to be able to speak.

near misses like mine the other day for instance, that woman most likely will cause an accident to some unfortunate rider/driver she was lucky this time but judging by her driving i am surprised she is still on the road, i only hope no one else is injured.

I used to scream and shout and swear, and lash out and get worked up and angry...now I dont bother, I shrug my shoulders and think 'tw@t', and then think about something else.

It doesnt solve anything getting irate, it winds you up, gets you stressed - and for what - nothing! It doesnt get solved, it doesnt get put right...

Im not sure what changed, perhaps it was riding, walking, being driven around some of the places like Bangkok, Hanoi, Saigon, places in India...that I realised, actually our drivers arent really all that bad...not in the big scheme of things.

I also think if everyone wasnt in so much of a hurry to get everywhere, the roads would be a nicer place. If people were more courteous and thankful when people did nice gestures, then it would spread...eventually.

Recently i've taken to clapping at their stupidity if they've made a blatant mistake but i've seen it coming.
They are so embaressed

My only ever strong reaction was a few weeks into my riding career... had some chav in a modified Nova or something throw an empty botle directly at me, hit me in the face (Well, helmet)... kicked his car twice and shot off into the distance.

Must have been quite embarassing to be in a car full of your mates, think you're it by throwing shit at someone, and then getting your panels kicked in repeatedly and not even be able to keep up with a 125cc bike when it speeds off.

If someone's pissed of with me for something they've done (will hold me hand up to say sorry if I was actually at fault) - or because they've tried to cut me up and failed, or whatever - I usually find the most effective way to annoy them is a smile and a cheery wave.

Much better than sticking ya' finger up at them.

clapping the stupidity..... done that a few times, or similar

i tend to evaluate how stupid they were and take it from there. pull along side and sit beside them generally makes them realise they done wrong. helps on black bike dressed all black.. scares them a little, i could be a little woos underneath it all...

pulled in front a couple of times and stopped them, had a chat then let them go on their way... that's if really stupid
