I wouldn't have undertaken you, Plague, too much of a risk without knowing you - although I wouldn't have abused you either.
Alien8 said:I regularly find people being considerate, especially waiting to my right at mini-roundabouts. Waving me on, thinking they are doing me a favour, whilst I've come to a virtual standstill thinking what the 'eck are they up to?
Plague said:Suffice to say I wont be chasing him down - I've had my rant on here and I suppose thats the best place to do it
Plague said:In all probability I wouldnt have swerved in front of him, im not that reckless, though I was absolutely livid, my blood was literally boiling that he could have the audacity to have a go at me when I thought I had acted safely and was being considerate to him. Im not used to receiving abuse in any sense and I will quite happily stand my corner if challenged. Otherwise live and let live.
But, but - how many are anti-driver because of the vast number of dangerous oafs behind the wheel (mobile users &c)? And a poorly driven car is going to do way more damage to you and Mr Plax and your vehicle.Plax said:Then, about 1/4 miles down the road whilst we were waiting at red traffic lights the same cyclists cycled past and went through the red lights. When we caught up with them very shortly afterwards one of them was all over the shop (including going over the white line onto the other side of the road) faffing with his water bottle.
No wonder some car drivers are anti-cyclist with prats like that about.
