Who said he had a licence?
There's an awful lot of folk who just drive... So have no insurance etc....
It woke Hanna up... Mainly my swearing as I could not find the horn to vent some wrath....

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
Young Female drivers - not concentrating on the road ..... in a BMW watching TV .....Kwackerz wrote:lazarus wrote:Not sure its anything to do with the make of car. To my mind the biggest group of problem drivers are young women. Somehow women have morphed from being the most considerate drivers willing to let people out of side roads etc into the most aggressive and above all least aware drivers out there.
And it doesnt help that the company 3 door hatch a lot of them have is capable of over 100 mph so now they are equipped to carve you up too.
Having spent 3 months commuting into London I have to wholly agree. They tend to be the "if i dont see it it wont hit me point and squirt mob".. they want to change lanes, know it's a dodgy move but rely on lowering their vision hunching their shoulders/wincing, pointing the car where they want to go and squirting the old throttle. Then after they've caused carnage open their eyes really widely and pout "but im only a ickle secretary.. you cant mean me mr nasty biker/car driver/truck driver/bus driver"
I hate them about on par with the taliban.
..... I blame their Grandfathers ....

Prick...
Hi all,
I would of deffo gathered my thoughts and adjusted my trousers! Then, stopped and turned round safely. Slowly approached the driver, got off my bike, then, emptied my entire brain off all pent-up thoughts of the level of competence he or she had for driving skills. If they had a shrug of the shoulders and show no consideration, then the bar steward would of received a size 45 alpinestar along the length of his precious audi
Had my fill of these idiots, if they aren't made aware of the lack of awareness, how are they to change?

Being a woman myself I'#d like to be able to defend them BUT..........
In a slow-moving queue on Salisbury bypass not long after the bike was converted to 3 wheels, I felt it jerl and thought I'd stalled it but no, engine still running. Looked round and the (35-ish) blonde in the red BMW (they're worse in red ones) had run into me!
She made no move to get out of the car so I switched off, put the handbrake on, got off, slowly took my lid off. At that point I guess she could see that a) I was a female and b) she wasn't going anywhere cos my trike was in the way.
When I asked what she thought she was doing, she said "But it was only the tiniest bump" as if that was ok then....... There was a small chip of paint off my rluggage rack but I was soooooo glad to be able to say 'It may have been a tiny bump but look what it's done tour nice shiny car' - pionting out the bit of "chrome" trim that had fallen off the front!

Years ago I may have stopped the arsehole driving up my then gorlfriends chuff and asked them to wind the window down for a chat before introducing their face to the front of my helmet. I say I may have not that I did do ;)
Again years ago I discovered that armoured gloves so go through closed windows whilst allowing enough grip to remove the wing and mirror by force
More recently I may have found that sending some idiot off with motocross / Arnoe style boots doesn't just work in films
Fekkin idiots but hey I am much better at anger management these days

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
