The mentality of car drivers - be afraid!

Ok, so come into work one morning last week and there's a mashed up fiesta in the company car park, hmm wonder what that's about.

Anyway, so doing the morning mooch about with my coffee, the admin and office types are all talking about the poor girl in dept x who had a bus drive into her and how it's so bad and she should get the police and injury lawyers whatnot on the case. It was her car outside.

Me - "What happened???"

Fools - "Well she was just leaving work and a bus drove straight into her!! She's really upset"

Me - "Oh right, how weird?? how did that happen? Why couldn't the bus see her?"

Fools - "She'd only just pulled out into the road and he hit her!"

Me - "WTF? So she pulled out of the car park into the path of a bus??"

Fools - "Yes, but it was a box junction!! She should have been ok"

Me - "??!??!!????"

BE AFRAID out there

The mentality of car drivers - be afraid!

I've always said that if all car drivers had to do a CBT, there'd also be much less risk to motorcycles!

Well if she couldn't see a bus what chance does she have of seeing a bike.Irrelevant of whether it was a he or she they should be done for it. She was shaken up by her own stupidity but what about the people on the bus?
On the way home from the AR a dear old silver haired lady in her Metro decided to pull out in front of me and even when I was slowed down alongside she did not know I was there---------------what is the use of ranting at somebody like her.

I started preaching this to people after i did my CBT, i went there thinking i knew it all and basically realised straight away i knew fook all.
Defo a good idea imo.

I had about 5 incidents with old people driving cars just on the way home, the worse when i was overtaking on a busy road, seen a gap to overtake then the old fart in the focus estate decided to try and stop me by moving over as far right as he could then speeding as fast as he could to close the gap in front of him when he could see i was gonna pull in, when there was a car approaching from the opposite direction and you dont have the gap you were planning on, it unnerved me and made me angry, ii just dont see what they get from doing that, he spent the next few miles trying to catch me up and when he did didnt even have the balls to look my way.
Me and DMC was on the mway when a old git in a 4x4 decided to pull into lane 3 without checking there wasnt somebody at the side of him
We both offered some correctional gestures.

doing a CBT wont make people miss bikers. hell i've pulled out on one before, being an ex biker you'd think i should know better, but just an error of judgement like everybody makes from time to time
