Got into a bit of a road rage incident today.

Today I went flyscreen shopping and on the way picked up a friend who went pillion (our own proximity).

When pulling out of the end of his road, this guy in a white clio with gold alloys pulled out on me so I gave him a blast of the horn to make him aware I was there.

This sent him into a complete hissy fit ( Laughing

) and he started swerving all over the place and pulled over so I went around him.
we were in traffic so I couldnt just blast away and I had a pillion.

This guy then was tailgating me and swerving around trying to get me to pull over. No chance was I pulling over.

then he pulled along side me and was trying to get me to pull over so i gave him a "sorry" (sorry for fuck all you are the wanker) wave.

and he pulled off.

This seriously shit me up as I had a pillion and for a second I thought he was going to try and knock me off.

Fucking cagers with anger issues. Middle Finger

Not got much to other than if someone is tailgating you slow down, continue slowing down until they actually back off. Makes it very easy, if they want to go really slow then thats up to them.

As Krs says, if you had stopped then you do have the advantage with wearing a helmet, gloves and boots if you're wearing them.

I was wearing full kit.

But I stayed calm and didnt react.

But I really thought he was going to try and knock me off.

Thing is because jay was on the back I couldnt have buggered off like I would if I was by myself.

also there was a lot of traffic so I couldnt have just left him standing.

You don't properly punch someone wearing a helmet with your fist unless you've got armour on. What you want to do is strike them with the heel of your hand. It stops you cutting your knuckles on their face if they've not got a helmet on too.

Thats some pretty fucked up stuff there nick. People are getting really shitty, its getting to the stage where there are starting to be more wankers than decent people.

I was with dods and it really did seems like the knob wanted to hit our back tyre. Looked like he had his family in the car too, the tail.

For what its worth, I think these things are rarely worth remembering, let alone getting in a potentially dangerous situation for. The bigger man (who does not need to feed his ego) will walk every time. Only the guy with a self image problem needs to prove that he is as big a tit as he looks.

Well done for not taking the bait.

But hey, I'm a lover not a fighter. Wink

(That said if someone drives like a tit, I will ensure that they take longer to reach their destination)

On the subject of road rage, I had an altercation this morning with a fat twat in a Volvo! On a two way section on the North Circular in London he was going about 25mph in a line of cars, but his offside wheels were over the white lines in the middle. If cars (and vans) drive near the kerb there is plenty of room to filter, so I gave him a friendly toot, he saw me but did not pull over for about 500 metres. My view is, oh well, however the road opens up and he continues to deliberately straddle the white line. I pull back and am able to 'undertake', as the road is now three lanes wide approaching some traffic lights that are red - as I go past he swerves his car in my direction, having anticipated this I react accrodingly, and calmly, and give him the w*nker sign with my right hand as I am decelerating for the red lights. I stop at the front having filtered past two cars and observe he has got out of his car and coming over. I put the sidestand down and quickly dismount & turn to face him.

I then get a load of verbals, anger and fist shaking. All I do is put my hand out like Neo in the Matrix, beckoning him to come forward, saying absolutely nothing. He then gave me some foreign 'up yours' sign and got back in his car. I appear to be in a sanguine mood today so felt no emotion, which was probably best.

Too many tossers out there now though that are quite willing to piss you off and wind-you up to the point of explosion...

Best to walk away from these incidents, you go over and twat the guy then you are the criminal. You'll have a record in no time for hitting someone because they pissed you off.....

Laugh at them and walk away, it will annoy them more than they annoyed you! Thumbs Up

in the event of someone squaring up to you and you know for sure they are going to attack you kick them in the knee as hard as you can

one broken leg job done

always try and get out of close up fighting as it will more than likely end up on the ground

oh and always better to try and get out of trouble

but remember if someone is intent on doing you harm then strike first

as its unlikely they will feel any remorse about kicking your head like its a football

If they attack then sure, kick the crap out of them but all I'm saying is best to avoid that type of trouble.

You hit them first even tho 'they started it' then you are the bad guy in the eyes of the law.

I'm sure the twat will be all cocky and show off macho type but most of these folk crumble and cry as soon as you strike a blow, they will have you charged in the blink of an eye.....
