YEAH... i broke a mans (Driver A) mirror out of rage, i know i shouldn't have but he pretty much deserved it.

I was going down the road and driver A pretty much cut me up, never thought of nothing and just kept on riding. The lights then turned red so i took the opportunity and filtered through to the front and waved bye bye to driver A when i passed him.

After a few minutes of riding driver A was tailgating me again. He tried moving to the left lane so i did the same, he moved to the right lane to over take so then i did the same xD, he then moved to the left lane again so i let him go as there was a slow pizza hut rider in the left lane in front, i then got side by side with Driver A so he was pretty much boxed in.
Driver A then tried ramming me off the road but i just kept my position and pretended that hes wasn't there, after a few meters i was literally riding on the wrong side of the road Rolling Eyes.
The lights then turned red, Driver A threw his sig at me and started moaning and got angry 'no your place on the road boy your on a bike' 'your a learner stay at home'.
I then punched his mirror as the lights went amber and then turned right in a minor road like a lil bitch lol.. no one saw me brake his mirror though.. so now if he tries to claim can i just lie and say i was not involved in the shattering of his mirror and get away with it?

Proberly nothing will come of it, you will get cutup many time, avoid cagers, and bite your tongue as much as poss, get to where your going.

All these incidents nearly all end badly, and looking back you regret them.

You really should have just let him go past you.

Not worth taking that kind of risk with a car, you never know what kind of nutter is piloting the car. I can't see him making any accusation as he'd incriminate himself!

Sounds like tit for tat, but you were being a complete cunt, JUST to be a cunt. It won't change anything, he won't be nicer to bikers in future, in fact he'll just be more abusive/dangerous/hateful to other bikers.

In the end, this car driver might really hurt someone.


Why do we all have to wind each other up? Just get on with it.

Its not often during these stories that I'm on the side of the driver, but in this case I'll make an exception.

I know how pissed off some twats out there on the road can make you feel, as I'm sure every rider can.

Have almost done similar things once or twice too but, managed to resist the temptation.

At the end of the day, you're in a very vulnerable position being on a bike and if the other driver losses his rag and sees the red mist for a second or two, you could be paying a visit to the morgue. He may not intend to kill you but, in a split second of rage, it would take nothing for him to suddenly turn his steering wheel left or right, just to give you a little knock and because of it you end up under the wheels of another vehicle. Sounds harsh but, it's very easily done.

Next time you're in a situation like that, just shout and call the asshole every
cunt, prick, wanker, twat or any other name you can think of. He won't be able to hear you with you helmet on over all the noise of the traffic but, you will probably feel better Thumbs Up

Take it easy out there mate. It ain't worth it.

It was stupid what you did and you shouldn't do it again, but it is done now. Beyond reasonable doubt is the standard of proof required to convict you... unless you either incriminate yourself or there is camera footage/an independent witness, I doubt you'd even get charged.

Keep doing that kind of stuff and it'll come back to haunt you one day though. Remember that he might be local and recognise you next week and decide to get his own back...

You need to stop arguing with cars - especially on a 125 you will always come off worse and don't have the power to get away anyway.

Once you get on anything vaguely noisy and 600cc + it isn't so much of an issue.

In those sort of situations i find its much more effective too polity ask if they want too pull over and settle differences without being a pussy in a metal cage .... met no one with the bottle so far to agree.

Yes i know its a dickish way too react but i have very little patience for the morons on the roads anymore.

(come drive round blackpool a few weeks and you will understand why bloody tourists!)

It seems your little wave would have pissed him off.

How I would lol at you... then overtake you, in the car Wink

If you are on the road to annoy people and piss them off, please enter the motorway on the oncoming slip road.

Minimum Seven Years Bad Luck you Potato.

I don't see you getting any time off for Good Behaviour.

Lighten up and stop giving Bikers a bad image. You naver know, you may be broken instead of property sometime.

Why? Do you know what normal every day people are capable of when they're angry? They do things which they later regret. So you purposefully tried to piss off an already stressed human being who has a fully loaded 2 ton weapon on them? Great choice bud Thumbs Up .

Why toy with him, fuck sake, i have people like that all the time, what do I do? wait till i can overtake, and do it and just carry on my journey, I'll swear to myself if they're hogging right lanes sure, but you just carry on.

and as said before, L plates = people think you're a little kid so treat you as one, and will bully you, they don't actually think sometimes adults can be on L plates! but still.

That is a very stupid thing to do. So you mess with someone else and then you get angry because they have the never to get pissed off at you?

Shouldn't you be working on getting your license instead of breaking mirrors and then running away? Very brave you are.
