…by signing the petition to let bikers use bus lanes 😛
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/bikesinbuslanes/
Safer for us because you ain’t ramming us! Cheaper for you, because you have less opportunities to ram us, which means you won’t have to pay us compensation 8)
It would be safer if you didnt all undertake and swerve in and out of moving traffic to race to traffic lights *p.s. I always move over If see a biker in me rear view* ..
And tbh If I was a biker I’d rather take my chances with public cars rather that cunty busdrivers and taxis!!! lol
p.s. signed
Personally being a biker and a car driver i’d prefer it it “cars” when they see us just stayed exactly where they were.
When I’m in a car if I see a biker I just carry on doing what I’m doing the only time you should need to look around you is when you doing a turn or a lane change or of something of similar ilk .When I’m on a bike if I could rely on the fact that the car was not going to move on my behalf it makes it easier for me to get around the vehicle where appropriate. As for bus lanes…..humm that’s like riding over a minefield sometimes…
As for the lane changing undertaking(to a point) etc etc it’s actually called “making progress” something which having been a instructor and also a ex police training course pass-ee is actively encouraged although only when safe to do so.
p.s Notice how I didn’t get involved in the previous “Legit” post/argument.
very diplomatic of me I think. 😀 😀 😀@11thSignal wrote:

Personally I reckon that the government should be trying to get more people on motorbikes, since they take up less space on the roads, use less fuel and look cooler than people on scooters.
Motorbikes FTW

Maybe… Taxi drivers are some of the worst drivers I’ve ever seen, when you consider they’re in charge of another life too then somehting wrong is going on… but for the most part the lanes are usually empty 90% of the time anyway… When I was at University in Bath they had signs up to allow bikes in bus lanes and it actually worked quite well as traffic did get quite shitty in the centre, though I guess that decision is left to individual councils.
blood……boiling……..fighting to resist………..deep breaths………….

ok, last night i’m driving down a road, i see a motorbike in my right mirror so do the usual check into my left mirror before i move over to give him space to overtake only to see a bike overtaking me on my inside by the kerb!!!! wtf am i mean’t to do in this case as a “cunty”, worst type of driver on the road ??? I’m now in a situation where one biker is giving me a thumbs up for giving him room to pass and the other biker is calling we a wanker !!!
Hardly a day goes by where something doesn’t happen……….prime example; Monday night, i’m parked up quite lawfully in a side road in belsize park, on the left…..just before a junction, 5 or so minutes later a BMW turns up and parks opposite me but just ahead in front of the junction (imagine a T junction, hes parked opposite the road that comes off the road i’m parked on) and just sits there dropping off some mates, chatting on his mobile.A minute or 2 later a car comes down and has to go around the car thats double parked (his mates have gone but he’s still on his phone) as in effect he has made a chicane in the road…..as the guy drives passed me, he slows down and calls me a fucking wanker for being parked up!! 😯 WTF ??? so he ignores the fuckwit whos double parked on his mobile but instead chooses to make a taxi driver (who is legally parked) the object of his anger (why he’s angry i have no idea as there was room to pass, he just had to slow down to 40 instead of wanting to do his usual 60 in a 30 mph area).
Tuesday night i’m driving down Bayswater road towards Marble Arch and this guy comes right up to the back of the cab flashing his lights and trying to overtake me into on coming traffic………..i refused to budge (actually i couldn’t as there was cars parked in the bus lane) so the whole way up to the lights hes flashing and tooting at me………when we pull up at the lights hes questioning my parantage and all sorts so i wind down my window and ask him what his problem is, pointing out that the speed limit is 30mph and i don’t intend to go faster than that with a customer in the back of the cab………he then blows a fuse and goes off about wanting to keep up with traffic or summat ???!!! Again, as a “cunty” cab driver, you tell me what i did wrong ? I’m driving legally, being courteous but still people cop the hump with me…….i guess being in a noticeable vehicle like a cab your gonna upset people just by the very nature of what you do.and yes, we do fuck up !!! we do cut people up, stop suddenly forget to indicate…………doesn’t everyone? its just you notice it more because its a cab………….Next time its pissing down with rain, your stuck out and need to get a cab, when eventually you find a free one and you stick your hand up to stop him……..i bet your fucking happy he’s stopped suddenly or done the unfirgiving U-turn to pick you up !!! Your not caring so much then are you ?? or howabouts when you and your pissed mates are fucking about in the cab, 4 or 5 of you all yelling about where you want to go on your friday night out and within the cacophony of noise the driver is mean’t to hear where you said you wanted when suddenly one of you shouts out to the driver “here mate, we want to stop here”………what do you expect the cabbie to do ? drive a mile down the road ?? nah, thought not! you want to get out where you said………in effect, fuck the drivers behind (who incidentally if they kept a reasonable space behind the cab would normally have room to overtake but instead they want to be so close to the back of the vehicle in front its stupid).
soz guys but had to vent on this one…………..
i’m off to be a cunty cab driver…. 😉
I forgot to add besides WeT 😛 That’s half the reason I go fast though WeT – every time I do everything right I end up getting shafted (whether it be road related or anything else), but when I do everything wrong nothing negative happens =/ Forgetting to indicate is 1 thing, but I’ve followed cars through multiple junctions – thye’re not forgetting, they’re just not attempting 🙁
I must say that the times I’ve travelled in WET’s cab he was a calm, courteous and repectful driver. The trouble is that there are so many other complete wankers on the road who’ll blame everyone else for their own pitiful driving that sooner or later you’ll be in confrontation with somebody.
A couple of years back Cowboy stepped in after a big bloke actually pulled over infront of a little Indian lady who’d stalled her car and was yelling his head of at her. She’d stalled her car, she didn’t deserve that.
Actually now I think about it there was one time it WET’s cab when he was drinking Special Brew and mounted the kerb, running over a couple of old ladies. He got a bit vocal then, but was so pissed I had to dispose of the bodies.
He didn’t get a tip that night I can tell you.

and a damn fine job you done too, still not heard anything and they must be so decomposed by now forensics would have a job getting anything from them……..did you manage to pawn those tasty gold rings ??
My missus had it yesterday, she reversed out of the drive, was putting it in gear to go forwards as you do and a guy came around the corner in his car and instantly, and i mean instantly started tooting!!! i mean what the fuck is that about ? He didn’t even give her a chance to move……….i’ve had the reverse where i was pulling into my drive and the dickhead behind me started tooting me ? ok, so i shouldn’t pull into my drive and instead go around the block just to appease you, you fucking moron!!
😕

have fun ;p
tbh i think i would have blown a fuse by now as just from reading that which i would think is a fairly common week i would be in scrubs by now having taken a shotgun to most people.
hehe hippo, its not uncommon to get abuse but if i was to get irate by it all the time (sometimes i do but hey, i’m human…..just 😉 ) i’d either be in an asylum, dead from a heart attack or sharing a cell with Big Harry the crossdresser on a 10 stretch in the scrubs………. 😀
Mmm my grandad was a prison officer at the scrubs for years before he retired back to the motherland, the service set him up with the house near WeT too… -_-
I should ask him if he was 1 of the guards beating on the prisoners and if any of you guys go in there maybe he could put in a word to make sure you do/don’t get clubbed 😆

Ive had a couple of free rides in the WET cab too – cheapest cabbie in the world!
You should have an XDC guest book mate, to get us all to sign when we “take a ride”
