Cannot beleive what i've just seen!

[rob_scott92]

Just went out for a night time ride on the motorway to see how the bike'll cope with it.
Got to where i wanted, and thought i may aswell turn round and take the motorway home.

As i re-join the motorway, i sit in the slow lane for a few mins untill i get to a long line of cars going at 60mph and decide to overtake them all. After a few mins in the middle lane I got overtaken by this guy on a kwaka (He must've only been doing around 80 max) he stays in that lane for a few mins when i see this beamer, hurtling towards this guy, slams on the anchors and slows down in just enough time, inches away from this guys rear wheel!
I honestly thought i was going to witness a major accident and was just ready to give my horn a long blast just as i saw he'd slowed in time!
Kawasaki man, moved out the way and the beamer drove off at speed again!

Now the thing that worries me, is that kawasaki man, was on a LIME GREEN kawasaki, being possibly the brightest colour known to man! AND had a full Hi viz jacket on! The only way the beamer driver wouldn't have noticed is if he wasn't looking and to me that scares the shit outta me!

Anyways after that i'm going to go to the safety nazi shop and get lots of reflective gear!

Second thoughts, I think the Hi viz vest i was wearing at the time will do

You sure it wasn't just because of your perspective that it looked really close but wasn't?

Also had the kawak rider been doing proper mirror checks he'd of moved over before the beamer got close

Drivers of cock mobiles do this all the time on motorways, you see it all the time with cars.

It especially satisfying when they start flashing and you slow to 1mph quicker than the car you're overtaking.

To be fair, he probably expected it to have broken down by the time he reached it.

[Paxovasa]

Does seem that both the kwak rider and the BMW driver were at fault.

I know not many drivers know this, but the third lane is only supposed to be used for overtaking.

I wasnt there so I could be wrong, but I suspect that BMW may have seen him all along, and just expected that the intimidation of fast approach probably with full beams on, would make the guy move over. Then got so close behind, to get him to move over.

news flash- BMW driver tail gates motorcyclist!

[hornetmike]

The car driver was probably thinking, who is this foreigner in the BMW lane. BMW drivers are mostly cocks, tailgating him to make him get over.

You say "he stayed in that lane for a few minutes" after overtaking you? You mean with nothing in the inside lane?

If so I imagine the car driver was going fast and was pissed off that he had to slow down because someone couldn't be bothered to move back over after overtaking.

Overly aggressive but then it's fecking annoying when someone just sits in the outside lane for no reason. Why would you do it?

[ThoughtContro...]

He's a Beemer driver, he owns the road.

The Kwak should have either been doing twice the speed or doffed his cap, grovelled some apology and GTFO the way long before the Beemer had to apply the anchors.

That's the rules of the road. Have you not read the Highway Code? (BMW abridged version)

This is why it is better to be faster than anyone on the road. Rev up

Why you let another bike be parallel as opposed to behind you due to a massive throttle opening by you the moment you saw him is beyond me.
