 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | the main road rage episodes i have received have been when i've been cycling. Some drivers cut cyclists off, turn left right in front and generally dont give a f**k about cyclists safety. But the funny ones have been when they do some dangerous s**t like that, i shout, they shout back and rev their engines and drive away wheels squeeking, only to be stoped at the next traffic lights. And then i just gently cycle next to them and tap on the window. This one guy just stared in front of him, i tapped on the window, but he faked that he didnt hear it and just stared ahead lol! Suddenly he didnt feel that big in his 4x4... | ||

In Stornoway, a 'traffic jam' is a 12 car tailback to get onto the roundabout; in the country it's having to slow down if there's sheep on the road. Downside is the police love hiding in bushes with their radar guns and ticketing pensioners rushing to church doing 32. Upside is bushless straight country roads and not a fixed camera on the whole island. And Martin Johnson does have a scary head, doesn't he? The shape, the size, and how high up it is. If it's so great why don't you clear off and live there? | ||

 Silver Surfer Member 163, 321 posts SQ 0, BP 95, DL 095.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Theres another side to this you know!..F***ing car drivers sitting in their capsules picking their noses thinking no one sees them...There is this old git who between 2/3pm 24/7 takes his dog for a walk so the dog can do his thing a put the rabbits back in their holes and he can do a bit of cardio.In order to carry out this harmless pursuit he has to cross this road to reach open country...Will anyone let me cross B****ks The fun starts when I have the gall to put a tentative foot off the pavement....Chorus of horns and beeps which is returned with interest with the finger from me. Arsholes. In the end someone..... usually a local will ease up and flash and the chorus is directed to them not me! Me and Beamer(the dog)skip over smartly with a wave and a smile but feel obligated to support the samaritan and further fingering and posturing go on....We then proceed with the walk in hand just hoping we dont run into someone with a small dog who picks it up because mine wants to sniff its arse...but thats for another thread! If Martin, Joni,Matt etc ever get down to leafy Dorset remember to ignor the old t**t standing by the road with his dog giving the finger to passing traffic.... | ||

Silver Surfer Member 163, 321 posts SQ 0, BP 95, DL 095.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | What I should have said was drive on and ignore me,or slow down and let me cross. Just dont stop! or I will be legging it. Anyone over 82.5ks with attitude has my respect! | ||

Member 143, 237 posts SQ 340, BP 245, DL 310895.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq | I can woefully attest to inflicting my biker rage on a pedestrian at one point. Not overly proud of loosing it, but I still laugh to myself when I think about how it must have looked to the poor pedestrian. Filtering down the middle of the road on my motorbike and a pedestrian appears from behind a stationary van and does a "rabbit in headlight" impression looking at me coming towards him. I slam on the front brake and up comes the rear end, mission impossible style (f*ck knows how, I can't do that kind of thing if I actually try to) and I try to ease the brake off so I don't end up head butting the road with a bike on top of me. Instead of making like a frightened rabbit the tw*t pedestrian stands there and watches and I have to slam the brakes on harder again and go down with the bike. When I crawled out from under it, bruised and battered and in a foul f*cking mood the guy stands there looking at me whilst I pick my bike up and asks the usual dumb question - "are you all right". I am saddened to admit that I let rip, but what I didn't full comprehend was that I was holding the front end of the bike off the ground in front of me shaking it whilst I threatened to insert it in his colon and ride it up inside till my handlebars got stuck in his nostrils - at least that is what the other bikers told me I threatened (as they had pulled up to help - as bikers are apt to do). At this point the guy turned rabbit and ran like hell, triggering howls of hysterics from the assisting bikers and me calming down slightly. So there ya go - my confession to pedestrian rage. I'm happy to say thats the only incident I've ever given in to. The car stuff just never seems to bother me, but damage my poor bike.......... | ||
