LOL Maybe we should make this a regular slot, I bet there would be
loads of entries...........

Mine was a Porsche Boxter which passed me in the outside lane (two
lanes each way we're all doing 27ish mph. Boxter cuts to inside lane
sharply as lights ahead are changing. Moves so that his wheels are
inside the double yellows to block my nipping up the inside (which I
wasn't going to do).

He left a gap in front cos he was so busy watching to see what I would
do so I rounded him and drew in front keeping in middle of lane.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT goes Boxter my speed drops dramatically,
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT goes boxter and forces his way into outside
lane, nearly taking out a motorcyclist and pulls back into my space
(what fun I'm having). Lights change and he has to stop, I rolls down
the middle as his window comes down and his Saeco red face looms out.
Quick, take the initiative! "I'm not intimidated by your CHEAP
Porsche, get a 911 like a REAL man!" Says I. MotorCyclist is shouting
"Rip 'is mirrors off!!!!"

I thought he was going to explode but he couldn't catch me through the
busy Glasgow commuter traffic.

Hee hee, what fun!

I met a pair of winkers in a red 106 going down crow road in Glasgow

they were sitting half-in the cyclist green box at the head of lights so I
rounded them and moved into my rightful place.

lights change and I hold off the parked cars cos the road is narrow and
traffic works are ahead.

at the same time someone is trying to do a 3 point turn in the road and
these pair want to overtake so I hold my ground cos of safety

once through the roadwork's they overtake slowly moaning some mangled
Glaswegian words

I give them the one finger salute and tell them where to go

the pair then drive on for 50 yards then try an emergency stop in the middle
of the road

obviously in a 106 that's going to be effective so I zoom past on the inside
while reminding them how stupid that was

next the think it'll be smart to run me off the road so anticipating this I
hop onto kerb and salute again as the pair pass me and offer a parting shot
of verbal nonsense

strangest thing was a fat beardy taxi driver behind me saw it all and as he
passed shouted something equally garbled but from the tone seemed rather
rude

which just goes to show ....................




all taxi drivers are fannies !

You could have nipped up onto the pavement/verge.

I thought you weren't going to go past him?

Ah, the classic biker mentality...

What and demonstrate to the cager just what he wants to belive, that all
cyclists ride on pavements?

He said he was going to nip up the inside which seems eminently sensible
in such circumstances.

Today's tosser - a guy in a 5-series Beemer (no surprises there) on
Riverside Road in Norwich. I had joined the slow moving queue from a
sideroad, just ahead of him; clearly this riled him. He passed me,
then had to slow. I was keeping up with him, but as soon as the road
widened & the right-turn lane up ahead (which he was going to take)
became free, he must have floored the pedal - the Beemer shrieked up
the road, visibly 'sitting down' on the back axle.

He ended up taking the 90-degree right-turn onto the Prince of Wales
Road bridge at 40mph+ I'd say, tyres squealing madly. For anyone who
doesn't know Norwich, this is a very busy junction with peds
everywhere due to the train station being 100 metres away. And this
was at about 08:30 this morning.

Would only have taken one ped to step out without looking properly & 2
tons of Beemer would have flattened them. All because the nanodicked
guy driving it felt insulted by my keeping up with him on my bike
while in a traffic jam. What a tosser.

Yes, it is a busy and dangerous junction. Nasty. One can but hope that his
goolies are cut off before he manages to injure or kill someone.

I lived in St Matthews Road there in the mid 70's. Even then the junction
at the station was a tosser's delight and an accident black spot : (
