Posted: 17:16 - 25 May 2018 Post subject: Kicked Wing Mirror |
|
|
Hi,
Interesting thing happened to me today while driving my tin top.
Guy on a dirt bike rode past dangerously and kicked (read: destroyed) my wing mirror - This was intentional.
Is that what we're doing these days, guys, and is this practice common?
I certainly never behaved like that when I was riding regularly.
Given the lack of wing mirror I'm now way less likely to notice bikers riding dangerously (or otherwise).
Also, if this practice is common, I can only think that it will cause hatred for bikers by other motorists, which is sad, especially because they are less likely to drive in a way that is courteous to riders.
I usually try to keep observant and even move out of the way for riders (in an exaggerated manner).
Really, we don't want other road users to consider us riders to be worthless, low life scum, do we, and have them look forward to our early demise? After all, the majority of riders aren't psychopaths.
Thanks,
Spring |

I think if that would have happened to me whilst in my car, the sudden incident would have caused me to swerve into the path of the bike due to the shock? ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

Apparently so, and let's face it, that's a common occurrence, and God only knows what this worthless fool thought that I did, but ultimately, most of us don't determine that the best course of action is criminal damage.
I'm a biker, remember, and I've been wronged countless times, but I would never sink to these depths, as ultimately they are indefensible.

He wasn't just hooning then, the shake of the fist says he felt you'd done something wrong.

Which lane is yours?

None of the lanes are mine - While they should be (ahem!). Hoooharharhar. |

Was he perhaps aggrieved by your lack of awareness of what you did? Possibly quite some distance back? Axiomatically, you can't know.
I'm sure that your driving is much better than average, like 95% of drivers. However, perhaps you could consider having your driving independently assessed just to confirm your elite status.
Of course, if his crosser was unplated or he was wearing a hoodie or had his lid perched on top of his head, DEATH MURDER KILL. It's the only thing that will stop them. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
