European Drivers

So if the definition of road rage is behaving aggressively to other
road users (whilst not getting out and clouting them) then I agree. I'm
a total **** to cage drivers when I'm on the bike.

If it's physical harm, then the stats are wrong.

 

heh, I was going to post something yesterday about riding like a
complete twat and loving it. Someone's got to give bikers a bad name...
and today it's my turn.

 

If the Italian driver who was having a fit behind me on Tuesday,
because I dared to let another car merge, is anything to go by then it
all sounds wrong. And Belgians? Laid back in a car? Hardly

 

I used to get very fretful behind the wheel, I find driving to be so
much more pleasant now that I've turned calm.

 

me too.

I was on a two lane road [1] yesterday with the inside lane blocked by
a parked coach. the woman next to me was so sure that she wasn't going
to let me filter in front of her that she ran into the car in front.

I found it hard not to laugh when I passed the person she'd hit my
business card and offered to be a witness.

I dunno. I do get wound up. Especially when people cut me up or drive
like a twat in my general vicinity [1]. Otherwise I'm as calm as
custard.

On the bike, I just ride like a ****, but don't get wound up at all.

[1] I'm by no means perfect, but some of these cunts in Paris should
never have been given a driving licence [2].
[2] Oh, I forgot. Over one million people in France don't have driving
licences but drive anyway [3].
[3] And they're all in Paris, driving next to me.

7:45am on the Antwerp ring on a Monday morning is not laid back.

I think they get points for how many other cars they overtake on the
inside.
