Close call this morning!
nutters
not that i wouldnt be freaking if it happened to me but its not always a good idea to get into a roadside brawl.
Sure youre armoured but there are some real nutters out there, yes even madder than you when someones pulled out on purpose.
I had an incident where a parent of a school I was working at tried to run me off the road because I fildered through and popped out at the lights. i didnt even tap his mirrors. When the lights changed he nearly ran me off the road trying to reovertake me.
I might have been less pious but as we were "discussing" it his poor kid was right there witnessing his dad blow a gasket. What a pratt.
I was told that if police recieve a call about a car they can pull it over without having to give a reason. so, if you can be bothered, and if you havnt decked 'em or knocked their mirror off, it could be worth calling it in. but by then weve calmed down and prob cant be bothered.

Lane-splitting, as it's known here, isn't legal anywhere that I've been, although I noticed in Sydney it's as acceptable as kiddies riding their pushbikes on the footpath. Rarely see it in Qld & reckon we'd get pinched as soon as spotted. I like the foam idea, but the paint-stripper in the water pistol... hey, we should all carry one of those! My brother installed air-horns... They work a treat next to an open window .

:mad2 , makes me bloody incensed this kind of sh1t does. when i was at rozzer school at ryton on dunsmore in 2000 i used to filter down the m6 every day and every day without fail some numpty would pull over to block me. one day it was a brand fire new porsche 911, and as i was on my pan at the time, wing mirrors connected, mine snapped away on its little wire to be replaced a couple of miles further on, his was reduced to shattered glass and plastic. result! wonder how much a porsche 911 wing mirror goes for? knob jockey
Put me in an empty room with a brick and i'll either break it, lose it or hurt myself on it!!!

Can you imagine some random walking past you on the pavement and then just because you'd strayed fractionally over to their side of the pavement ended up decking you, breaking your neck and calling you a w****r for good measure. They'd be locked away. Yet stick the same person in a car and they think it's ok.
but i have to admit i do suffer from road rage when im on my bike... well its not the road rage that is irrational. its idiot rage... i loose my foooking rag so easy with idiots on the road..
my missus couldnt believe it when she witnessed it cause im so laid back im almost horizontal.. nothing phases me.. but FWHITS in cars, or bikes or lorries
the situation you encountered i have no idea how i would react, and things like it are always different looking back..
but how ever you reacted is natural to you and best left the way it is..
if i had not have lost it there n then i would have pulled over and made some bogus call to the police that you just saw a car driving backwards round a roundabout over pavements said they looked drunk really beefed it up just so they get the police to have them on look out..

Re: Close call this morning!
S306 JTS is coming up no insurance on the Motor Insurance Database. Phone DVLA and explain that you were involved in an incident where you sustained damage involving this vehicle which drove off, they should then give you current keeper details.
I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.
