They're not 'doing' their hair. They left home in a hurry so they're drying it on the car fan. Tru dat.

Things That Car Drivers Do To P155 You Off!

Can be summed up in one word!

DRIVE!!

Why on earth do they decide to drive on the A roads, when cars can quite comfortably drive on D roads?

In all seriousness, the thing that ****es me off the most on motorways are middle lane hoggers. I tend to undertake doing 90 mph, without accelerating, and without catching up with the other person in the inside lane.

On other roads, cut corners! The amount of time I have had a close escpae cos some ***** has decided to cut across a bend just to save from slowing down a little bit is unbelievable.

Middle class mums in their BMW X5's doing the school run. Stop where they like (including middle of the road). Whilst driving: doing their make-up, talking on their mobile phones, turning round to speak to the brats in the back and generally thinking because they are in a nice big vehicle that they can't be hurt so f**k everyone else. Hate them!

I went on my first forey dow the A470 towards Trefforest on my own Sunday evening.. 'twas ****ing down with rain, and I was stuck behind a BMW Z3 that was doing 50ish MPH.. so I thought sod that.. so I indicated to overtake.. pulled out, started to overtake.. and the fecker put his foot down.. got up to 80MPH, and the fecker still kept going, so I thought sod it.. its raining, Im still breaking in bits and bobs on the bike.. so slowed down, and went back in behind him... and he went back down to 50 MPH again!

I see that bugger again on a dry day after the bikes broken in.. I'll show him how crap that Z3 really is!

You sure that he wasn't slowing down for all those roads works and then accelerating in between 'em

Nah - can't hav been that coz they're 40mph limits (ignored by cars, observed by bikes - or so it seems to me

). Have him when the bike's run in

It was just before the 40MPH limits...

I went down to 40.. he stayed at 50!

I just chuckle everytime a car pulls away as fast as it can next to me!

Its like they have something to prove all the time!

Probably more infuriating than all of the points already highlighted is when following a dangerous/inconsiderate or downright selfish action by a car driver, they have the f*cking audacity to begin ranting and raving at you as if you were to blame!

I no longer get upset with car drivers. I ignore their idiocies and conclude that they generally can't see me and therefore have adjusted my riding accordingly.

I think we tend to be more than a little arrogant as regards our right to use the road (which is strange as most of us drive cars as well) and I think this manifests itself in the way a lot of bikers show their disapproval when they allow a car driver to upset them which only inflames the situtation and puts the rider at greater risk.

If we wish to be seen in a good light and as responsible motorcyclists (note I refrain from using the word biker as it has sadly become synonymous with hooligan) then we ought to ride with a better attitude in order to promote ourselves as ambassadors of our beloved form of transportation.

Relax, keep cool and don't let the f*ckers annoy you.

(Actually that was a bit pompous wasn't it but I can't be bothered to rewrite it! I'm sure you get the gist of what I'm trying to say)
