Have some Patience !!!!

Patience!

Based on my commute home this Evening from the Oval though South East London and beyond it seems that many bikers have had their patience gene removed. I will agree that the traffic was bad this evening due made worse by the rain but people just need to chill a bit. If you wait even at little as 10 seconds a better gap and you will make up the time.

I saw a scooter rider shout at a car driver because “he” wouldn’t move forward and enter a yellow box that wasn’t clear in order to let the scooter rider get passed. There was a bike that all most rammed me from behind because I stopped overtaking a line off traffic as it was no longer safe, the other biker overtook me and went round the blind bend in to oncoming traffic.

But best of all the W***k*r award tonight is presented to the scooter rider on a 07 plate vespa type thing that tried to filter up the inside of a line of traffic and then tried to cut out to the outside and almost ran in to the towbar coming out of the back of a AA truck that was towing at the time. I don’t know what gave it away maybe the flashing orange lights on that van or the hazard lights on the car he was towing !!!!!

So to sum up, Biker’s have some patience and we will all get home nicely and still faster than a car.

Soap box returned to the cupboard ready for the next user!

[/derail] I totally agree, I am very concious of being a courteous filterer now, and trying not to annoy car drivers.

Since I've done the bikesafe class bit, I've taken a much more "i'll get there when I get there" attitude to filtering, and have a much safer, relaxed journey home and it probably only takes a minute or two longer.
