ah dear it always seems to happen to me Laughing
first the horn then the wing mirrors, filtering faux pas just keep on coming.

i was filtering up to some lights when i get stuck about 4 cars from the front, the lights where on abit of a bend so as i was level with the car on the left's rear passenger window, my foot was kind of under his car.
i put my left foot down and wait, the guy to my left starts to pull forward, i'm thinking to let me pass, i say "that's nice of hiAAAOOW!",

he's run over my foot Rolling Eyes
not all of it but the whole side and the little toe, it was more of a supprise than painful.

not his fault at all, and after realising that a large 4 door mercedes
hadn't actually crushed my foot i just laughed. Razz

the black rains are all good too!

I'm always really paranoid about that, and it's always been a question in mind. Now I know what happens. lol

Used to freak out my rents and sister by doing that.

Just (in toecaps) stick your foot under one of the wheels when they reverse. Always good for a laugh.

A mate of mine was sat at a set of traffic lights near the head of the queue at the right hand side of the traffic with his right foot down.
Next to him was a seperate lane for people turning right, controlled by its own set of lights that were on green.
A van turning right passed him and had a loose bumper/exhaust/something that was sticking out on its left hand side.
As the van passed him, whatever it was that was sticking out knocked his right leg out from under him and he slowly toppled over onto the floor.
Strangely, he didn't see the funny side of it.

I've noticed that cars running over my feet doesn't really hurt, or damage the foot... any explanation? are feet really just very strong?

My theory is because the only cars that ever try to squeeze past a biker and/or don't like bikes filtering are the Large BMW, Volvo, porche SUV affairs Evil or Very Mad . Now they have very large wide tyres and so like a tank spread their weight over a large surface area. Providing part of the tyre is still in contact with the road they can drive over your foot without doing much harm.

All normal cars driven by people who don't have to make up for something down below will actually do more harm having thinner tyres. Thankfully these people won't get annoyed by a cheap bike passing them whilst they still have an hour or so to wait in the traffic jam so thankfully you don't hear of many bikers having their foot actually injured Wink

I'd be more concerned about having me leg ripped off like that poor bloke in Bolton , who was dinged by a volvo who was uninsured , and drove off because of the lack of insurance, got home and found a leather and sidi legged boot around his bumper.
