motorcyclists have their own rules

When I was learning to drive I was always told to keep as close as
practicle to the left and to keep a two second space between my vehicle
and the vehicle in front. Why then do so many motorcyclists:

1. Drive near the center line.
2. tailgate in my blind spot.
3. Drive at reckless speeds.

It wouldn't take much to knock one of these reckless losers over
(accidently of course) while trying one of
their kamakazi manouvers, and i'd be damned if i would stop to help.
If they want respect from other motorists they gotta give it.

 

Well, if you'd learned about the road rules, you'd know that the
requirement to keep left has a specific exception for motorcycles.
Probably to prevent morons like you trying to overtake in the same lane.

You have a blindspot? Maybe you should learn to adjust your mirrors
properly.

If you are driving a truck or bus, then anyone who tailgates is stupid.

Oh.. faster that you is "reckless". Yeah.

I don't think I would feel comfortable getting 'respect' from the likes
of you.

Regarding keeping to the left of a lane, this is from the Victorian road rules.
-------------------------------------
129. Keeping to the far left side of road

(1) A driver on a road (except a multi-lane road or a road with 2 or more lines of traffic travelling in the same direction as the
driver) must drive as near as practicable to the far left side of the road.

Penalty: 2 penalty units.

(2) This rule does not apply to the rider of a motorbike.
--------------------------------------

So yes, motorcyclists do have their own rules.

As for tailgaiting and driving at reckless speeds, some probably do it for the same reasons as the moronic car drivers that do the
same things.

 

ITYM 'Kawasaki manouvers'.

HTH, HAND,

Actually, the to RIGHT of the centre line, in about the same position
relative to the traffic lane as a car driver, , and it's so wool blind
poofs in fagnas are given every chance to see the bloke on the bike.

If they are "tailgating" in your alleged blind spot, it's becasue the
poof in the fagna hasn't learnt to adjust his mirros.

For **** ssakes, pesty, anything that goes faster than a fagna, and
that includes retards on skate boards, is travelling at a reckless
speed.

It'll take more than a wool blind poof in a fucked up fagana.

No surpises there, your brakes are only 5,00- kilometres past a
rebuild.

Fagna drivers are not motorists, they are poofs.

 

So you concede defeat to Holden then, and are now looking for another fight
to lose?

 

1. It's just about road position. If you hug the left hand side of the
lane and you're behind a car any oncoming traffic often won't see you. Cue
in a car turning right across your path and you're headed for destruction.
Whether you use the left or the right side of the lane depends on traffic
conditions and the immediate risks presented around you. For instance, if a
B-double is approaching, yes, I'll move to the left of the lane. You also
need to occupy your space and defend it, if I was to continually ride in the
LHS of the lane cars will overtake within my lane and restrict my movement
or where I may want to go in the event of any evasive manouvre. The list
goes on, get over it, think about it, and realise why we do it and stop
bitching.

2. Can't say I do that, I'll do anything to be seen, not try and sit in
someones blind spot.

3. There's a place and a time for eveything. My place and time is
usually out in the boonies where most car drivers couldn't be arsed to drive
anyway.

 

Because it gives you a better chance when some idiot on the left decides to
change lanes

So all bikers know where you blind spot is ? And how do you know if they are
tailgating you when you cant see them ?

I never drive at reckless speeds but have be known to RIDE at speeds above
the speed limit

Its idiots like you that create such a bad riding or driving experience. If
I was you ( and I thank the lord I am not ) I would just concentrate on my
own driving

Actually I shouldnt feed the troll here but I am bored....

 

Yeah right pest you can't even park your car without hitting anyone elses.

You just cannot drive for shit.

 

You bother with mirrors?

 

A question: If the road has one lane in each direction, does that make it a
multi-lane road? If so, Rule 129(1) doesn't apply, and you may drive on the
right if you like, even if you're in a car. Strange rule.

 

You mean, on the wrong side of the road?

 

Rubbish. I don't perform dangers overtaking manouvers - i leave that to
motorcyclists. The only reason they keep to the right of the lane is so
they can overtake illegally easily.

My mirrors are fine. The blind spot is where my fuel flap opens. Some
riders like to position their front wheel there in the same lane as mine
and then wonder why i can't see them easily.

 

Really. You're the one with bits missing from your car not me.

Sums the OP pretty well.

A road with a lane in each direction is a multi lane road, and you must
drive in the left lane. You may drive on the right side of the left lane...

Awwww, stop insulting poofs!!!!!!

Just kill-file it!

He will die from AIDS soon, with a bit of hope...

 

OK I'll bite.
1. Drive should be ride.
2. Your blind spot is all around you.
3. Define 'reckless speeds'.

The dumbest thing I saw a motorcyclist do recently was go up the left of
traffic through the lights when a vehicle was turning left.
I think it was an FJ 1100 or 1200, anyway did not come to grief.
Being a motorcyclist I see many fellow motorcyclist doing life
endangering things ...but I also see far worse from dumb arsed Magna
drivers
I saw a rolled Magna... silly turtle position.

If it's you or pesty on a moped, yes, absolutely . For the sane humans
among us, to the right of the centre line of the lane, you limp wristed
ponce.
