Anyone that pulls up next to a car (and thinks they're invunerable) and kicks the door / mirror / window really ought to think a bit more about what you're doing.
G is right - all bikers will now be "the enemy" as far as he is concerned and some nutter might just try and ram the sh*t out of you should you try it on (and for a variety of reasons, you might not be able to simply speed away).
If someone pulled up next to me whilst I was in the car and smashed my window, they'd get the door opened into them and more than likely over they'd go. Then I'd bugger off and call the police. ____________________ Current bike: Kawasaki Z750S |

The thing is many already consider bikers to be the enemy so why not just live up to the rep,
I posed the question is violence the answer , a year ago and it came up with a legally no , but morally yes type conclusion. As said the make a mistake ok , they cross the line and deliberately try to kill me and or try chase me or run me off the road they get their cars kicked, this just makes them madder, and in heavy traffic a bike can ALWAYS escape. Cars can't drive through other cars you know.
and yes I have been involved in 70+ mph chases on 30mph roads when it got a bad reaction and the guy went nuts , but thats what forward facing speed cameras are for. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

I agree that one should consider that all vehicles on the road are a danger, at all times, this is why good observation is key.
The thing is, your posts suggests a LOT of aggression and animosity toward car drivers, which the majority of the people on here also are. By continually attacking drivers, you risk antagonising people on here - as you have done to me.
I, as a biker, have not seen bikers at times on the road. Bikes are small, can be fast moving, and as such can be difficult to see. Recognition of this fact by bikers (which most do) is fundamental to staying safe.
Yes, car drivers make mistakes, as do bikers, yes some car drivers are utterly shit, as are some bikers, and yes a tiny proportion of car drivers will be actively and aggressively anti bike, as a tiny proportion of bikers will be toward cars. You appear to fall into the this last category, which is somewhat distasteful to car drivers (people like me), and bikers (yup, me again). |

you get all that from text? am i not allowed to be anti car? i'm an aggressive person i cant help it, thats the way i was born. and i'm sorry if you feel that way about my posts but thats my opinion and thats how i feel about car drivers. so if its "distasteful" to car drivers, fine, now they know how i feel when they go "oh bikes are dangerous" well maybe if they took more time on driving than rushing home like its on fire or on the phone or fail to use that little fuckin amber light that tells other users which direction they wish to use. its not hard but then again things are hard if you make them. ____________________ Haz ER-5, innit! |

Seems to be a much, much larger proportion of bikers that are intentionally anti-car than the other way around.
Ok, this maybe due to the dangers involved, but I suspect if any of these people spend some time driving a car they would realise that bikes also often make it a lot harder for themselves too. |
probably that cars you get away with a skid or a bit of damage to the outside and the person is completely ok,
while on a bike a similar nudge or fender bender has much more serious repercussions.
But as said after a while near wipe outs become rather common I had 3 last night on my 5 mile commute , one which was a mini round about no indies almost a replay of Hyndai Santa fe moment, another was where I was riding along at 25 , and a car comes out from between cars on the grid locked other side, he had the cheek to give me a blast on the horn, I wasn't filtering I wasn't in the wrong! .
And another where filtering a car nudged right to block me so I turn behind him and go to his left , he then turns left a bit trying to block me. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.
