bike hater, dumcondra

this has happened twice, same street, SAME DUDE, and it couldn't just be me!

As I overtake traffic, getting close to the front (so possibly broken or possibly solid white lines, legal or not), he is driving towards me, swerves to close the gap and shouts ASSHOLE out his window in the most cliché way possible, in an american accent, and burns off.

middle aged male, mid 2000's renault saloon, beard.

anyone recognise any of this?

If I posted every time I met a d'head on the road I'd be banned for spamming the forum. Forget about him and get ready for the next a'hole .

If you're over a solid white line, you are in the wrong.
traffic filtering is a legal move, so long as you follow the rules of the road.

Doesn't give anyone the right to abuse you - ROR or otherwise.

Actually it does buddy.

Nope, I'm master and ruler I will decide who has whatever right. By driving a French cage this idiot has relinquished any right to consideration.

I also drive a motorbike and if you think crossing a solid white line is ok...you and the car driver are no better than each other.

Not up to me to decide but as already stated above it's not up to yer man in the car either, hurling abuse at someone is not acceptable simples.

Solid white, broken white.... who gives a rats ass as long as the maneuver is done safely.

I couldn't give a crap is someone does 200km down the M50 when its empty.
But if someone is doing 200km and up other drivers ass to force them out of the way they are an asshole.

If a bike breaks a solid white line for example when moving past stationary traffic on his side of the road and there is nothing oncoming imo its fine as long as its done slowly and you have places to tuck back in when something is oncoming.

If the same move is done when there is traffic oncoming and he is forcing the oncoming cars to swerve an he is doing a stupid speed then there is a problem there.

Breaking the rules of the road doesn't instantly make biker or a car driver an asshole. Driving like an asshole makes someone an asshole.

Get his number plate and report him to the Gardai. While I am happy to go get my pitchfork and suggest we burn all Renault owners in a big pyre, the best action will result from a member of the force showing up at his front door with a warning.

Can you not just use the bus lane that runs down through drumcondra?

Dont tell him to use the Bus lane. . . . Last time he used a bus lane he had a thread on here going for weeks about " A bus driver tried to run me off the road" :D:D:D

Aw man, it wasn't the abuse itself it was the delivery. main issue is he swerved at me, i wasn't driving at any speed if i was I would have crashed into someone.

I get the white lines issue, i dont care, nobody other than an absolute doornob would attempt this.

HamSambo

Ah he's only jealous because he's whipped by the missus and isnt allowed to ride a bike.
All joking aside, he'd have a lot of trouble getting away from me if he swerved at me or threatened me like you're saying. Simply turn your bike, follow the c*nt and either
(A) Take his number and description and report him to the local Gardai.
or
(B) Pull him out of the car and ram your boot down his neck

Why not invest in a helmet cam or bike cam.

I had this happen over the years also had soe old yoke drive at me and hit my elbow with her wing mirror and I was not overtaking and was on my side but she obviously hated bikers.
