Road Rage

[R4nger]

I was wondering what people have come across while on the open roads of Britain, specificly people that have an agressive driving sense from near misses you have had to people throwing throwing cigarettes out the window. I do find these stories interesting

[hustler]

Theres someone with a knack for knocking off car wing mirrors on the forum.

i was once driving along cutting a queue when i was just pulling in to an open space when i felt a burning pain under my eye, i realized a driver of a focus had flicked his fag rite into my open visor, well i went a nice shade of rage red and turned around and was already out his car ready to shake and say sorry, bless him

[jaffa]

I encountered a thoughtless car driver who just stopped on the carriageway, when I had finished rooting in my pocket and looked up I was only a few feet away from him and his Astra Estate.

On impact and despite the fact that have no gymnastics experience I did a cartwheel (apparently) over the car and landed on my feet on the zebra crossing that was coincidentally right in front of the stationary Astra. Being slightly dazed I just say down where I was and had to be carried off the road.

The car driver claimed for whiplash.

i like that binge my uncle once was cruising with his mate (dont know the bikes) but he got rammed of his bike so he parked it at the road side and got on the back seat of his mates back as the got close to the van the they opened the back door and all their tools fell over the road

[binge]

Nice 1

As I read it, I thaught you was gona say "He opened the back door and climed in! and then strangled the driver!"

<|Binge|>

[JakeyC]

well he tried but a black of wood was blocking his path, just kidding lol

The worst I had was in Scotland. I'd flown upto Glasgow to go and see a customer, and picked up a hire car at the airport. Dricing along one of the motorways (don't know which one) I was trying to read the many signs and work out where I was going (I was pretty lost!).

Anyway, at a busy junction with a few options I slowed down in the middle lane trying to read the signs as the inside lane was closed. About three/four hundred metres away I could see that the middle lane started to get closed too, leaving just the outside lane. So, I look over my right shoulder to see a white van sat in the outside lane on my rear corner. I indicate right, and it doesn't move, so I speed up slightly but realise that the shite hire car hasn't got any guts. In the end I have to brake - by no means an emergency stop but far harder than I should have had to - so that this idiot passes and I drop in behind him.

Out of frustration and disbelief at his lack of awareness I flashed him with my lights once. Then, his brake lights come on and I figure that he's part of the roadworks team and he's going to pull in between the cones ( ). Nope, he stops his van in the outside lane of the motorway, gets out and comes to have a go at me! I was so gobsmacked it was all I could do to tell him to "fuck off" after he'd finished ranting and he stompted back to his van.

Stupidly, I was still so gobsmacked that I didn't get the company name or number written on the van. Oh, that would have been an interesting phone call to them and then the police.

You wouldn't want to try Glasgow this time because they are having to replace some of the approaches to Britain's busiest known bridge (the Kingston Bridge which is part of the M8) from the end of this month for 1 year or more. They are having to do this because they are sinking because some twat built the bridge and approaches without actually reaching bed rock!

I can quite well understand your predicament while travelling the M8 and the northerly approach to it along M74 as their is so many road worksall over the place on it it's basically come to a grid lock during the early part of the day. Try getting back on to the M8 south across the Clyde is a different kettle of fish because if didn't know the place you would be lost because the sign posting is crap and route to it is very poor !

I've been suprisingly road rage free, normally it's me giving middles to apologetic car drivers when they've SMIDSY'd me.

Bit off topic, but I was involved in a car smash last weekend which involved lots of abuse from the other driver!

Riding with my brother last year and some pr1ck (passenger in the car) gave my brother the finger for no reason, he gave it back. The car stopped and the passenger starts screaming at him through the rear window. His door opens. (We are waiting at the lights) I put the stand down, turn off engine and get off in a bad mood. The car shot off whilst the passenger was half out the car. LMFAO.

... got deliberately undertook on a roundabout despite signalling to come off - gave the guy a blast on the horn and gave him a round of applause as he looked in his mirror ... the bugger stopped, got out his car leaving the door wide open and stomped over, f*ing and blinding all the way, having a go at me ... ? ... so I told him to "Go on! Piss off back to your car and stop being such a tw4t" ... before realising what I was saying! I think the only thing that stopped him lamping me was the fact that I was bigger than him and there were people standing and staring. He got back to his car, still f*ing and waving his arms about and drove off swearing into his mirror - so I gave him the thumbs up and another round of applause ... bugger made as if to stop again!

I'll never learn ...

ooh yes ... always get the name of the company, phone number and vehicle fleet number ( if any ) of the van that chopped you up ( difficult on a bike, i know .....) ... I have been known to phone the transport manager and complain that the van driver was driving like a **** and if he does it again, I will bury my car in the side of his van ( firms motor , not mine !)

dunno if it makes any difference but gives me a warm glow to think his manager bollocks him for dragging the firms rep down the pan ...

did it to a taxi once who cut me and others on a roundabout ... and as I hung up we all got stuck in traffic ... me behind the taxi ... oh sh*t ...

[Reevo8]

When on the speedfight last year, some bloke looked at me sat next to him at a roundabout( giving way to other cars) and he shouted "fuck off, ya little c*nt" So I thought this was hilarious, and said "woooooooooooooooo" his face went red, so I tooted me horn and carried on! Was definately a funny one.

Occasionally when someone pulls out in front of me, or slams the brakes on I high beam them for a while! After filtering, I have known a lot of boy-racers/tits attempt to push me outta the lane! I just laugh, wanker sign and continue.

Ride bike in London + easily pissed off with bad driving = Road rage x 100 everyday

Seriously though I once got very pissed off with a woman who after she nearly knocked me off and I raised my hand in a 'what was that about gesture' then screamed at me to f*ck off. I got next to her in the traffic and told her that all she should do was simply 'say sorry' but she wouldn't stop swearing. I booted her car door, not enough to damage it and 2 weeks later had to be arrested, cautioned and give a statement about it. Luckily her statement was so untrue it made my story believable and I was let off. The Copper told me how close I'd come to a serious charge though.

Moral: If you haven't been knocked off then stay cool, just smile, wave and ride off
