    Always gotta remember that YOU ARE INVISIBLE whether you like it or not.

    Even when they are looking straight at you dosn't mean they comprehend you are there.

    Yep,I've hit the angry indicator button too on occasion.

    Lucky you made it through OK Phantom.

    Glad you're ok.  Nothing makes my blood boil more than pecker head teenagers in their boom boxes.  I don't commute to work anymore on the bike for just this reason.  Other day I was driving to work and got rear ended in a tight stop on the usual route, no damage as the heavy duty towbard on the back of the VT took all the impact.  But made me wonder, what if I was on the bike that day.

    Mirror or door punch. Pull in front of said car at next lights and "make sure" they know they nearly killed a man.

    The hope is to get them thinking of consequences of their actions at very least, but I reckon they might do headchecks for a day or two after that at best....

    after giving this girl the the realization of you darn near killed me, she properly shit there and then, I know after I cut off a car that I did not see, I got the warm and fuzzy feeling of "fuck"

    kicking off mirrors and/or doors will get you at the very least, a visit from the blue army and a bill from your insurance company if it was my car.

    The stupid little bitch still probably doesn't even know what she has done - yep break her mirror or kick the door - she wouldn't know why you did it though, she would just go straight back to texting a message

    The main thing is that you are ok...as far as the rest, well i ride like everyone is going to hit me...as far as kicking in doors and mirrors, won't say yes or no to that, suppose it depends on what the dickhead did...but things are getting worse out there thats for sure...texting while your driving, well in my books you are a dumb cu&t

    YA, always keep the boots polished mate, nothing nicer than that black speed stripe down the side of the door as they zoom off. If they are close enough to leave the stripe, then I dont care. Come a knocking man.....at least I am alive.....

    Im sure this little cow has NFI what she has done, and probably was thinking, WTF is that bike doing there. Im 19, You should respect me and get out of my space, and your space cause I want it, Im entitled to drive like my coco pops had extra sugar in them, get off the road, why cant I be teleported to work, damn these sunglasses look good on me, should I paint my fingernails blue, what day is it, where am I, how did I get here, I might have a latte when I get to work, bike? was there a bike? I love this song, my bra is too tight....... and so the noise of the vacuum in their head continues......

    Enraged indicating. classic.

    Im sure youre a good driver soapbox. I was referring to the texting, on a call, not paying attention to driving types. When its really not an accident.

    Glad your good Phantom, the "angry left indicator" cracked me up big time as I know the feeling. Done it on more than one occasion.

    Yes, was rear ended at the lights on Narrellan Rd last year by a P plater texting away. I was looking in my mirror and her head was completely down punching on the phone. Lucky was in the Ford Station Wagon which bent in the middle. Bye bye Fordie. Big worry though was the day before I was stopped there on the RKC. If it had happened then it would be bye bye me!!!!
