Probably sobered/arrested/crashed/dead by now, not going to achieve much i would of thought if you report it. Especially without registrations etc.

didn't report it then as I was too cold to be fucking around stopping to call 101 for an hour.


I called 101 tonight, middle of liverpool some lad was getting his head stoved in by 6 pack-mentality chavs..
I spotted it while out with he missus in the car.
The phone call lasted less than 5mins, police were on their way etc etc.

So yeah... an hour? I think not.

A bit late now, should have reported it when you were driving. Using your hands free of course (Unless you were on the bike)

I hate knobs like that.

I had similar today with a audi, I over took him at 75mph as soon as I come across he pulled out and increased his speed to over 80. Just too be sat behind someone else. I made sure I gave him Middle Finger as I filtered though at the light.

Report it, hopefully the car will get flagged and pulled over for a spot check next time they see it.

So you know he's a shit driver yet chose to put yourself at risk by overtaking him (a risk in itself which, if you had been successful, would've left him behind you)?

Epic fail, on so many fronts.

Then tried to overtake him on a vehicle that puts him at a statistically higher chance of dying in a crash.

I'm guessing that you've never heard of brake checks, then.

If you're not tailgating and riding like a responsible person then that shouldn't happen, or at least give you time to react properly.

I called to report something on the Lancs near Kirkby a few weeks ago, they seemed really interested on the phone but nowt since.

If it helps, GMP are no better. Caught someone trying to break into a neighbours in 2012 (after trying to get in mine). GMP were'nt interested in the slightest. In fact, they've never been interested in anything I've reported from the craphole of an estate I live on.

When I've pushed the issue with them (their lack of any effective policing) by getting my MP involved, the chief supt for my area insinuated the theft of my car could not have affected me in the slightest (they disregarded the fact that my car is mine, instead preferring to pretend that it isn't, I was actually quite close to posting on here for advice on naming and shaming, still might).

OP report if you feel it necessary, but don't hold your breath. IME the last thing the police are interested in is policing.

Very well, sabian. In your four months of riding, I'm sure that you've seen all there is to see.

Divvy herps some weapons-grade derp on a semi regular basis, and this is one of those events, in my opinion. However, claiming that you can't be hurt by a vehicle that's in front of you is akin to asking for a Darwin award nomination.

He didn't say you can't be hurt, just that it's better to be behind them. I fully agree, if the fuckwit is behind you he's going to tailgate, aggravate you and try dangerous overtaking tactics.

If he's in front then he can still crash, just not into you unless it's deliberate and you'll be able to react, especially if you've had the sense to drop back a bit.

FWIW I was brake checked by a mong in an Accord in a 40 zone, was far enough back, but something doing 40>0 in fuck all time = dirty pants and a lot of braking.

Dick then refused to get out of the car Laughing Ran me over like a king. Very Happy

The important thing to remember is that Divvy's girlfriend is surprisingly hot in a healthy peasantish sort of way, and shouldn't be put in danger by getting near someone who's clearly out for a last game of Cu​ntracer 2013.

Aye, but if she allows divvy up her on even an occasional basis, it lowers her appeal by a spectacular amount, thereby nullifying your argument.

And tried to overtake, so bad idea. Obs was the wrong word but my point is still valid. Stupid idea.

fucking derp. id rather be infront of the cunt than behind him, especially with the way he almost caused a crash infront of me leaving me with not many escape options... id rather get hit up the arse and thrown down the road than smash into the back of a car, the negative acceleration would be far greater hitting a car than sliding up the road.

Anywho its not as If I did a stupid overtake, he was sat at about 40-50 behind a truck I was doing 55-60 as far away as I could sit.


I'd rather stop for 30 seconds, let the guy mouth off and drive away then carry on. I ride a bicycle quite a lot and the same principle applies - you're on a 2 wheeled machine that leaves you more vulnerable than a occupant inside a metal cage. The car will always, ALWAYS win. You don't fuck with something that can kill you very easily. There is also no point in being right if you're on a slab in a morgue.

Plus at no point did I say you'd be hurt/not hurt, I just said it's better to be behind a dick in a 2 tonne car than in front. I'd rather not be tailgated than be hit from behind, tipped off and then run over and left to die.

Which everybody should do anyway. We all drive too close to the thing in front and we get complacent because "I've not crashed into somebody before".

If you ride a vehicle that when it goes into the back of a stopped object catapults you 30-50 feet down the road then you shouldn't be so close so that if you are brake-tested, you immediately ride into the back of the car in front.

Oh, I don't doubt that. I'm sure I'd shit my pants as well. Laughing At least you were far enough back so you didn't immediately go from "Paddy, motorcyclist" to "Paddy, ghetto astronaut".

Hope he drives the same but without his kids in the car next time. Would be a nice result if he has a high speed crash into something solid. One less piece of shit in the u.k, so many more to go!

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/9066/reported-road-casualties-in-great-britain-main-results-2011.pdf

The number of car occupant fatalities in 2011 increased to 883, up 6 per cent compared to
2010, following a general downward trend in deaths since 2003.

There were 362 motorcycle users killed in 2011 a 10 per cent decrease compared to 2010 and
in line with the trend for motorcycle fatalities. However the number of users reported as seriously
injured increased by 10 per cent to 5,247.

Even without the hard stats of motorcycles vs cars in hard numbers, it is a fact that there are a shitload more cars than bikes yet there isn't a massive decrease in motorcyclist deaths.

https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/sep/28/road-deaths-great-britain-data

Under "Deaths rates in relation to distance travelled" Motorcyclists are by far over-represented even though around 90% of road users are cars, and around 5% of road users are motorcyclists.

In 2011 for every billion miles travelled, 4 cagers (or occupants of cages) died. For the same billion miles, 125 motorcyclists died.

There are 41% less car deaths than bike deaths yet there are a lot less motorcycles.

tl;dr

You're fucking stupid trying to fight a car and think you'll win.
