Motorcyclists

[eddiesmith]

Do you have to be completely insane to be a motorcyclist? **** they are a danger to everyone around them yet car drivers are blamed anytime one of these morons get hit

I nearly hit one before, dunno where he came from but I am driving round a bend that is going to the left and what does this ******** do? He ****ing overtakes me on the left which is not only illegal but ****ing stupid, my car is moving towards the left and he is passing on that side, 1 lane road, ****ing idiot then had the nerve to look back and give a what the **** were you doing look

If only the ******** cops were looking at that instead of doing breath tests up ahead

I had just had to get it off my chest especially seeing everytime a motorcyclist is hit they do a campaign for driver awareness when 99% of crashes are probably caused by them doing stupid things

was your indicator working?

Being someone who's Grandmother died on a motorbike after she was hit by a motorcar all I have to say is, open your eyes.

Yeah I should be aware of a motorcyclist breaking the ****ing laws

Fact is you dont expect anyone to pass you on the left on a bloody bend

 

[The Dice Man]

Im sure your awareness as a driver will improve as you gain more experience

No-one comes from no-where.

I wasnt turning, the road was going around a bend

They're a nuisance, they think the road rules apply to everyone except themselves.

Rubbish.

Ive had moron car drivers in a parking bay, get in their car then back into my parkling bay and knocking my bike over, with the response "oh i didnt see it"!

Ive had moron car drivers in the lane next to me on a highway bip their horn to make me look at them, just to see them pointing at my lane just intime to have them swerve into my line forcing me into the emergencey strip.

Ive had moron car drivers on their mobile phones without indicating suddenly move into my lane as ive been along side them. I quick bip of my horn, a very booming voice at 100km an hour with a lift index finger firmly planeted upon their side window gives them the message.

I saw the stats years ago and the causes for accidents where split 50/50 between riders and cars. The only differance is that a cage driver in cucko land will tend to walk away from their stuff up.

Like all other road users, some are good, some are bad. On a recent trip in Sydney, we were headed down some highway probably at about 110, when half a dozen complete tools sped past us, between two cars, on the emergency strip, weaving in and out of a fair amount of traffic well in excess of 150km/h. Others like my old man, brother and other relatives ride sensibly.

There seem to be a lot f***wit motorcyclists around, for sure. I remember quite a few years ago I was stopped at a red light at a T-intersection. As soon as the light turned green, I (naturally) took off. What I didn't realise was some tosser on a motorbike had run a red light coming from the opposite direction, so I almost cleaned the d***head up. To this day I still don't know how I didn't collect him. He actually had the nerve to give me the finger after a he got past/around me me. I'm guessing he thought twice about running a red light again.

It is funny how they get upset at drivers who nearly hit them when they are breaking the law

It seems to be the mentality of a lot of motorcyclists. I won't say they're all bad, but a lot of them seem to think they're "special" in some way just because they're on a motorbike.

I blame the govt for making out that the car drivers are the problem and giving them the thought they are above us and we have to watch for them doing stupid things

I'm sure there are instances where car drivers do the wrong thing and cause an accident/near miss, but from what I've seen on the road over the years, most motorcyclists tend to have a completely different mindset.

Those ads probably don't help to some extent, but at the end of the day motorcyclists are much more likely to be killed/injured than car drivers. I think it'd wiser for them to watch out for "us" a bit more than they seem to.

In an ideal world, motorcycles and 4WDs would be banished from our roads.

I guess the question is though if a car driver changes lanes and hits a motorcylist swerving between cars and speeding then who is at fault, most would have you believe the car driver

If they didnt all have to speed they wouldnt have to weave between cars but it seems its all they ever do

In an ideal world I would have been alone in the car yesterday and that motorcylist would learn to not do stupid things like that again

This thread is just over-flowing with moron activity

You are a dead set d1ckhead....who in their right mind would post some bullsh1t like that...People in cars do not look as much as they should, you speak to any motorcyclist out there and I bet they can tell you of near death experiences they have on a weekly basis. Ignorance + stupidity + car drivers = motorcyclist deaths

Yeah probably whilst they are weaving in and out of traffic speeding as they usually do

Fact is the last thing you expect to see is anyone on your left on a 1 lane road

That idiot is the luckiest man alive, if I had thought I was to far to the center and corrected he would be dead right now and I wouldnt give a **** honestly as I wouldnt look as there shouldnt be anyone there

Its funny I went around that road again today, I cant see how the **** he fitted in that gap, the stupidest thing I have seen any person do yet we never hear about motorcyclists stupidity, its always about how the car driver was in the wrong no matter what the circumstances and I had hit him I probably would have been blamed by morons like you

 

[ICanDressMyself]

They're a ****ing nuisance.

I cannot stand them on the road, sneaking through the tiniest of gaps and pissing the hell out of all normal motorists.

Drive a ****in normal automobile like 99% of the world.

 

[bigdadymac]

Dice Man you were spot on...cant believe some of the rediculous replies on here!

 

[Herbs]

FACT: Bike riders are more often than not better on the road that people who drive cars solely. Why? Better awareness. But bugger riding on the road, too much of a chance of being taken out by some tool who doesn't look. I'll stick to the dirt.
