Barely escaped with my life - advice needed!

Hi all,


Well I almost didn't make it back from work alive tonight. Picture the scene...riding down the A40 in relative traffic doing 60-65 ( as fast as I can go bearing in mind thats the speed everyone else is doing), some ar5ehole in an Audi estate comes flyin up behind to within I would say 6-8 inches of the back of the bike, then pulls quickly into the middle lane (im in the fast lane btw) and undertakes me then cuts me up leaving about 1 foot room for me, I slam my anchors on back end in the air...literally! After a few seconds to think and wonder if I did indeed 5hit my pants I go up behind him, not close mind being he's a complete pr1ck and switch my full beam on for about 10 seconds to show my annoyance, the **** decides to start weaving in the fast lane and braking eratically causing me to hammer on,off,on,off causing a real hazard for everyone else on the road. He then pulls over to the middle lane at about 40-50, I go past and have a good look and see some guy about 30ish with black eyes lookin full on charlied up, as soon as I get past him he gets into my lane and starts accelerating faster and faster to the point I was upto 120 plus. I couldnt get in the middle lane out of his way due to slow moving traffic and didnt fancy going into the back end of a nissan micra going 70. As soon as I had a chance to pull over the f00kin c0cksucker starts weaving across to the left so I couldnt get out of his way, after what seemed like 2 mins but was prob about 30 seconds I managed to bear left into the middle lane heart in mouth not knowing if I could control it round the left bend I was in, at that point f00ckin pr1ck bombs past me....I got his number plate though..watch out for some d1ck in an audi estate light colour (silver or white..was dark at the time) reg plate KV52 CHC and will probably be trying to rob ya to either feed a coke addiction or go out lookin for bikers to kill!! what a f00kin pr1ck!!!!!!!!

So with that info in hand I'm off round the local cop shop tomorrow and report the to55er (not that anything will come of it)...so in the meantime everyone stay safe and watch out for to55ers in protective cages...

update***** just spoke to a m8 who's a traffic cop and he has advised me that if I tell the truth about the sort of speeds I WILL loose my license and the pr1ck will prob get away scott free as he hasnt/wont admit to speeding!! Ands if say the car is reported stolen then nothing will happen and I STILL loose my license!!!!! typical...give me switzerland anyday!!!!

Thats the sort of moron that I just let go by, I'm on a bike I've got nothing to prove.

You can't argue or reason or do anything with people like that and it only takes a nudge and down you go. Dont race them, dont look at them, dont retaliate to them or rise to their provocation let the go buy you safe in the knowledge that their knob is smaller than yours and they need to take every opportunity to prove it.

cheers fizz, I think I just need to calm down, I've been in near misses due to pratts in their cars b4 but never been this close to thinkin 'oh ****, I'm a goner'. I've got a baby on the way and all I could think of was the wifes bump. It just makes me sick that he has more rights with the police than me!! My mate was really angry for me but just said thats the way it is... dont think theres anything else I can do except have a drink and learn...did I mention his reg plate is KV52 CHC...

What Fizz said. He caused you distress by his driving. It concerned you that he was a danger to you. He then gets in front of you and you put yourself back in the same danger (if not worse) by winding him up further.

I would have just pulled over, let him pass, and thought not much else about it.

You will NEVER win playing bumper cars on a bike.

I used to get really angry when stuff like this happened to me. I used to the ride like a complete idiot because I was so wound up and then I put myself at further risk.

Take a deep breath, relax, swear at them under your lid or question the status of their father and then let them be on your way.

i was thinking the exact same thing fizz, then noticed your reply

No point trying to beat someone in a car (they probably will win in a 6L job and 4 wheels...), just sit it steady and let em tit off and annoy someone else

But i agree, what a bellend, good you kept rubber side down

I used to be the same at losing my temper at idiot drivers, although now (like fiz said) i TRY to ignore them but i know how you feel its frustrating.

The roads are full of idiots. Twice as I was driving along yesterday in a great big truck somebody forced me to stamp on the brakes. OAP joining the motorway with their eyes pinned straight forward and instead of matching our speeds as they approached and filtering behind me decided they would make me jump on the brakes as they pulled level with me into my lane crossing the give way lines. The first time I had no way of pulling into the middle lane because of traffic, the second time was avoidable but I was still fuming from the previous incident and decided to see if the joining car would bother trying to avoid me - they didnt. I can understand failing to observe a bike but a truck with big metal bars down the side should be fairly obvious.
