A frequent whinge amongst bikey types is the attitude of car drivers toward them. I was/am always considerate to bikers when in the car but since I've been riding again, **** me there's a lot of blind cunts out there! I'm sure a lot of drivers think all bikes are mopeds so they'll have plenty of time to pull out of the junction, roundabout etc. before I get to them. I've never been in danger of ramming any of them but they've all been given a mild parping and most have waved an apology in the rear-view mirror, indicating that they were potential SMIDSYs. On the plus side the journey from Ramsgate to Margate has been transformed from a nightmare into an absolute pleasure. I usually expect to be stuck in crawling traffic for a minimum of 30 minutes each way as the very shite Thanet District Council have done absolutely nothing to the old roads approaching the big new shopping centre near us, but now, riding down the middle of the road between the cars, I find it quite difficult to get the grin off me boat Bikes rock. Even in the rain.
What pissed me off this week was the dozy tart who turned right then signalled then looked [1] from the inside lane of a two lane carriageway [1] because by then she had the bike headlight shining into her eyes through the drivers side window.
