Cocks!!!

[Darkside]

Some car drivers that is! Riding along today along a long straight stretch of road, clear visibility humming a tune of some description, when i see a car approaching a junction ahead of me, he looks at me, looks to the other direction, (he hasnt slowed down), the 'he isnt, is he? no? he wouldn't!?! thoughts fly through my mind, bear in mind i'm almost on top of the junction now, and yes you guesses it he pulls out. Cue me "SHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!" have to pull right out onto the other side of the carriageway, the killer is he still doesnt stop and continues into my path forcing me to almost mount the pavement at 'national' speeds (on the other side of the road!!!) What a dick, I havent had the fear of God like that in me for a long time! Glad I have been putting in the hours in recently otherwise that would have been me and the bike noicley written off! So to whoever it was Thats my moan for the day!

Admittedly the car driver was a mong but why didn't you slow down when you saw the car approach the junction?

[Darkside]

I did! And then I had to nail it to get round him!! (Sorry I know you should'nt start a sentence with And!).

It's amazing how drivers will still pull out on you even after making eye contact. I've come to the conclusion that most people are just retarded.

Still, I bet it got the old ticker racing

I hate it when any motorist does that, unless you are excessively speeding you are the correctly proceeding vehicle so in theory you shouldnt have to alter your path at all.

But you think they aren't going to go, you ease off the throttle slightly just in case, you're getting closer and you get to the point at which you think there's no way they could possibly pull out now and then they do!! Brown trouser time!

In fairness the few times this has happened to me i have been in a position to safely pull out and nip round them and most of the time they pull in close to the edge of the road to let you past anyway

i never slow down when a car approaches a side road - it looks like you're giving way. I keep my hand ready over the brake, but i don;t use it untill i have to taking action when not necessary can land you in an equally sticky situation, as it is quite hard to judge the speed of bikes.

At least you're ok

It’s good that you were watching the other driver’s eyes as that gives you a clue as to what their intentions are. And* after a while you develop a sort of sixth sense (which is probably nothing more than reading body language) about who is likely to pull out on you. I tend to move out to the white line if there’s a possible threat from the left and look for possible escape routes.

Around town, don’t forget the horn- if you’re worried about appearing too aggressive using it, try doing a couple of friendly toot-toots and a wave as if you know them. Gives them something to think about.

Of course, none of this guarantees safety, I’ve been T-boned twice to prove it. As you say, some drivers are just cocks.







*Did you see what I did there?

He should slow down Cos 1)it's common sense, 2) it can be a case of slowing down, or being roadkill

guvnor, I'd be carefull, that's custom title material...

Admittedly, posters got priority but cagers are cagers....

Surely when travelling across town, if you slowed down for every junction (where you had priority, ummm) because a car was there you'd be as well binning the bike and taking the bus.

It would be quicker

If he slowed down enough he wouldn't have needed to 'nearly' mount the pavement.

He should have done whatever not to put himself in a dangerous position, and even if that means stopping!!!

Maybe he should have moved into the other lane of the carriageway to let the car out, providing it was safe to do so!!!

It could have been avoided, thats what i am saying, just by thinking a bit more ahead. Maybe expecting the car to pull out, rather than being shocked when it DID pull out.

I think Darkside's story is just another one of those that highlights the dangers faced by everyone - he reacted & didn't have an accident.

Today on my usual journey, I saw a white van parked up to my left on a not too busy road, and saw, just in time the reflection of driver in the van's mirror and I slowed down. No sooner had I seen him the van pulled straight into my path..... and I was able to slow further, quickly. I didn't even have time to hoot and the van driver was totally oblivious to the fact Iwas there (at one point 2 feet from his rear bumper). If I had been a less experienced rider I would have been off.
