bmwdave Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 OK, this was a new one for me. Filtering between almost stationary traffic on my regular route home, I'm used to the usual kinds of drivers. Most dont see me till I'm alongside, most of those who do see me ignore me, a few nice guys try to make more room when its tight, and occasionally there's the odd bast*rd who deliberately blocks me.The other day as I was coming through approaching an SUV with unusually big mirrors, the driver folded them in to let me pass, and back out again afterwards.Made me chuckle in my helmet.

It was stand still traffic and she was refusing to move over the slightest bit, was talking to her through her window and she was rude so I decided to be rude.

leener Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 He probably had too many of me come plobbering through at warp speed and spanking everyone's mirrors with my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
