Did he look yellow afterwards?
Have to say…I often see the red mist when someone cuts me up or sits on my butt…however, once I’ve vented my aggression I tend to open her up and get the hell out of there! 
I’m with you mate, but if you’re gonna do everything you can to **** off someone who’s driving has been less than courteous, you have to be prepared to pull them over and lamp 'em.
Speaking from experience, this does make you feel better, but you do get to find out what the tea in the local nick tastes like (TVP seem to make quite good tea on the occasions I’ve been made welcome in their fine establishments) 
Got to admit to having done similar and i defy anyone to say they havnt had a tiny bit of rage themselves at some time or another.
Lifes just too short for me to bother anymore. Have a read of this one.

I learnt very quickly riding or driving in london can be dangerous. after being chased by people numerous times over the yrs for things like using my horn when they nearly hit me, ive now resigned the fact of not using the horn, flashing lights etc. when i see something like this developing, i get out there, simple as that. Youll only end up getting run over, stabbed, or hit with a metal object. Its not worth it
Holy Crap - the bleach spraying is unbelievable! Surely that’s assault!
I agree, everybody experiences rage at other people’s stupidity on the road; my point to Shiver was that it’s what we do with it that makes all the difference. Older wiser souls know the value of rising above such provocation - as it often escalates to someone getting hurt in a crash (or a fight!). It just isn’t worth it.
What I guess Shiver does not see is that his behavior and mentality tick *all **** * the well-known boxes for him to become an accident statistic i.e. male, enjoying danger, disregarding personal safety, overestimating ability, ‘noble cause’ risk taking, overpowered by ‘red mist’ thinking - I’m guessing he is young too, which is the cherry on the cake.
But there’s no telling those that don’t want to hear!

There are some unbelievably dim, dangerous drivers out there and no mistake. They frequently make me angry, which TBH isn’t that hard, and after 15 months on a bike, I’m fairly confident that I know my place and what to do on London’s roads - especially those I use regularly.
But in real terms, 15 months is nothing despite it seeming ages ago since I passed my CBT (let the good times roll!)
Sorry this doesn’t help ease the stress caused by the white van monsters, but won’t your sense of satisfaction at being right/ not letting them get away feel a bit hollow from a hospital bed? They can force you out of the way and drive off/ leave the scene of a crime.
They might ‘think again’, but perhaps only about how they can get away with it.
Ride safe mate!
Another story. I’m following the son (CBR400) on the Burger 400 in the fast lane of the M25 coming up to the A10 turn off where we head north. I see a lowered and blinged hatchback coming real close behind me so pull over and let him through. The son is riding on the edge of the lane and isn’t using his mirrors so the hatchback squeezes through between the bike and the guardrail at 80mph. Now this is all completely pointless because it’s when the A10 tunnel only had two lanes and there’s the usual queue coming up but it really wound me up. So I stick right behind him, put the lights on full and start blowing the horn and giving him the finger. There’s absolutely nothing he can do because by that time, the traffic is solid and doing 30 mph. I’m beginning to fantasise about doing something but I don’t really know what. At the last possible moment, I cut across the lanes and take the slip road off to the A10, I can see him trying to cut across the lanes as well but of course he can’t do it in time. The last I saw was this guy going red in the face and shouting.
Then there’s the time I’m coming into our little town behind a white van. The driver keeps slowing and looking round. I’m wondering if there’s something wrong or I’ve left an indicator on. Or my bikes on fire. Or blowing clouds of smoke. Or something. He pulls over and parks on the pavement so I stop, push up the flip-up helmet and ask if there’s a problem. Next thing I know, I get a torrent of abuse about nothing in particular, none of which was about me except that I was a **** for stopping. So I make my excuses and leave quickly.
People are strange. But it’s usually better to stay un-involved, get out of their way and leave them to it.
Shiver, are you the fella with the silver SV on the Essex Twist ride today that nearly had an “incident” with a red Merc?
that would be me damn cross winds;)
nice to meet you today
and the same fella who almost had a head on with a punto:w00t:
yeap more of those winds and erm not looking at the road
Nice to meet you too!
The red Merc incident was also nearly a head on…and of cause I was unaffected by the cross winds sat right behind you!:Whistling:
what can i say not use to riding in strong winds and both near misses were once i had been blown wide doing round a corner
After being a dispatch rider for many years all I can say is Shiver you are young but you will learn. 
this is what you need … i’m sure it would have a similar effect on the windscreen as it does , though probably be a little easier to remove
or the patience is a virtue method , just park up and wait for him to go by
then do the bastids mirror when he stuck in traffic …:w00t:
I hope so…the alternative dont bear thinking about!
your sv must be a extra light cos the wind did’nt shunt me:ermm:
dude take it easy out there because i’d not like to see a fellow rider become another statistic
