Anyone ever thrown a full bottle at a car?

[Jonathan M]

Got SMIDSY'd three times in a mile, and the last one really pissed me off, fat chavvy woman driving some Audi 4x4 talking on her mobile who saw me, paused, then pulled out right in front me. I shouted "stupid woman", got a response of "**** off", but carried on riding. For the rest of my trip into work I was fuming, and considering ways of revenge the next time someone SMIDSYs me, and the dark side took over with thoughts of hurling a full or nearly full bidon at the vehicle.

Anyone done this, as it must make one hell of athump, and if so, what was the reaction (apart from being charged with criminal damage??!??)

 

[palinurus]

Not yet.

 

[Bman]

Probably a very hostile one!

Especially if you hit someone/thing else

 

[Crankarm]

Bottle of what exactly and need it be full? Would be awful to waste a bottle of finest malt or a nice claret .

 

[fossyant]

Right then...... controversial or not............

Kid boy drivers are complete twits..............and deadly.....

Young (ish) women drivers (bigger age span) are dangerous..........

I personally get more issues with younger women driving anything at about rush hour than any BM rep boy........ (and my missus drives about at that time - she knows how to drive)........

It's the drop kid's off, go to work madness speed...FFS.......the fella you squish might just be the classroom's mate's dad..........

I'm sure I read on a forum, think it was a US one, that a rider, or riders, had taken to carrying a small hammer clipped to frame. When cut up would catch car and crack windscreen.

I can't find this now, anyone know it or is it just an urban legend I've picked up?

Confession time - big spray from a 750ml bottle into an Audi A4 cab after the front seat passenger shouted "get a car you gay knobber" passing me (very closely) in Wilmslow.

As they turned right after she shouted it I sprayed! Worried for ages afterwards that they would double back and find me, so took a route back via the airport.

Not a clever or sensible thing to do (the juice had a high fruit content) but what the heck. If you're that peed off after waiting behind a cyclist for 30 secs (and approaching the lghts anyway) then you're fair game.

As I said, not big or clever, but boy that squeeze felt good!

Wouldn't it just be handy to have a can of spraypaint handy. I said somewhere else I tried a telescopic police baton once in my pump bracket and it fitted perfectly, make a nice dent that would.

I carry a solid Swiss army bottle with me... (I'm on a 20quid steel bike most days so I'm not worried about weight...)... I've tapped that thing gently against my head and it hurts,, so I imagine if I were to swing it against a Ferrari, it would make a nice swiss army dents... not that I'm plannin on trying it anytime soon...

 

[Trumpettom001]

Also If I had a Ferrari myself I would just sell it anyway, and buy a fleet of bikes...

A good solid u-lock would too....and it wouldn't look out of sorts to carry it.(if you needed it for self defence purposes only, obviously)

It has been concluded here many times before that actually using a D-lock in a confrontation might end up with it being used on you as some drivers are nutters. Unless you are a trick boxer or genuine 4th Dan black belt who can handle themselves it is best to avoid escalating things to a serious life threatening confrontation. A serious nutter will probably try to run you down in their vehicle.

But even if you can handle yourself you can still be stabbed or shot as was the championship boxer (sorry can't remember his name nor the location) shot in a London restaurant after a disagreement with some one.

Very good advice Crankarm. If its a van load of brickies, I'll probably give it a miss. Some tosser in a Porsche though and I'll give as much as I get.

Make sure you're covered by CCTV if you do decide to exercise your right to a citizens arrest. And don't wear SPD SL either. They are rubbish in a ruck. They're no good in a general altercation either (don't ask how I know this).

no bottle

Knew of a female horserider who had a fishing weight attached to a whip for close encounters, also admitted that a good kick had worked once & insurance company ruled driver too close. maybe you should try an acting career, snap a mirror, take the dive then the reg.
