Default CAR DRIVERS rant

What is it with people as soon as they get into a car they loose all respect for everyone else! As a motorcycle rider in London I not only get cut up and ignored most of the time riding on my wits but today I got abused for filtering thru traffic! Moving up to the front of the queue I got verbally assaulted by a red faced gentleman who informed me I should wait behind him and not jump ahead???? Now I know its not very British but im sure if his car would fit he would be up in the front too!
When I just similed, waved and gave him the thumbs up it just seemed to make him more animated! I would have quite like to have heard what was making him so angry but unfortunately I was half way home by the time he made it away from the lights!

Rant over thanks for listening

Stop Along Side Him, With Dark Visor On, stop filtering, stare at him for a few minutes..
Say nothing, just stare..

Or if you've accidentally fitted a race system and a stubby can when you weren't concentrating... back the bike up to their window and hold it on the rev limiter. Got a couple of chavs in a barried corsa with this trick the other week. They didn't look too pleased and I'd be surprised if their ears were not bleeding.

The worst I've had is "The Cager Stare"..... I did see one old dear start moaning to her husband in the passenger seat, but that's about the extent of it.

I like the smile and thumbs up routine.

I'll tell ya cos i had a girl do the same thing a while back, but she leant across her passenger seat, did the window down 9cos i was on that side of her car you see) and said...and i'm not joking here.... "how dare you push in, in front of me, when i've been waiting here for bloody ages! Who the hell do you think you are pushing in front of me like that....blah bla blah"
Seriously, thats what she was screaming at me. And i mean SCREAMING!!!!
Just before the lights chnaged to green and i gave it a nice big handfull to drown her out and off i rode into the sunset. Actualy it was sunrise cos i was on my way to work but lets not let details spoil a good story, lol.

They're just so moronic some drivers. I think all bikers should be allowed to confiscate the licences of such morons on the road as a civic duty to all other road users.

As a little tip - to baffle and bemuse most people when using expletives, even the C, to insult someone always smile at them! They havent got a clue!

Good work though fella!
