Poor guy, there might come a time when your quest to save the planet by biking will kill you (or rather get you killed by an annoyed motorist) Now that would be tragic!
Just think how much difference you make to the environment with your peddaling - its gotta be worth annoying at least a million motorists for this!

If I tell that I have been a biker as well as a driver for a good many years, and that I held an RAC full international track license for several years and that I broke 6 lap records which have never been broken. and that I spent a significant amount of time controlling some very fast machines as well, would that answer your somewhat ineffectual questions, or rather your poor attempt to attack me in your own defence?
Nothing to do with sense of humour anyway, just you trying to swank in front of us all as to how much of a star you think you are on the public roads!
You would be well advised to be a little more careful with your attitude to other drivers. One day someone will make mincemeat out of you.

The one thing that really annoys me is not as a driver, but as a pedestrian, at work we have a zebra crossing across a dual carriage way, 20 yards from a roundabout, NO ONE ever stops even if you are in the middle of crossing the road, and you get all kinds of verbal abuse from the drivers for even attempting to cross the road
I said to my boss one day, im surprised no one has ever been wiped out crossing this road, and he assured that they have many many many times

Forgot to say, I would love to have a few stingers to hand on the way in to work ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)
Oh, and for home too, as the majority of cars treat it like Santa Pod drag strip, I have been half tempted to write to the council but as there are only a couple of houses it is very unlikely anything would be done about it, they have introduced traffic calming measures a little bit further up, and all through the estate, but not on the 200 yard stretch that I live on

PMSL, no, I don't think he is. This Leslie used to be a Vulcan pilot, I think.

Sonic,
The records were at Silverstone Club, Mallory Park Club, Rufforth, Aintree, Cadwell Park (my favourite by miles) and Castle Combe.
No I am not Alan(the les) Parker, never heard of him to be honest.

This entire topic looks like it escaped from the Muppet show.
How about Welcome to the IAM! for a bit of better driving.

Drivers who try and undertake you on Motor/Dual Carriage Way: Perosnally i like to speed up so they can under take and position yourself so that when they finally come across another car in the Middle lane going slower that them they have to brake and get behind you or just drop back a couple of cars.![Thumb](images/smilies/thumb.gif)

I certainly don't intend to be Pimmo. I did not think much of his post and telling us how he polices other drivers who have irritated him. His methods leave a lot to be desired, especially when he tries to hurry other drivers by pushing them along with his bumper. I felt perfectly entitled to make a post to let him now how I felt about that. Similarly, he asked me questions in an effort to belittle me so once again I felt entitled to answer the questions in my own way. I don't count that as "trolling" in all fairness.

Everyone has their own idea of what size gap on the inner lane it's worth pulling into. If I was bobbing along at say 85 in lane 3, and passing the traffic at a rate of +10 MPH then I would look for a gap of 1/2 a mile or more, assuming traffic behind me, and what it was, or how much of a hurry they looked to be in. If I was the only occupant of lane 3, then the gap distance increases.
I think the point alexppp was trying to make, was when somebody decides to howl up your inside, through a relatively short lane 2 or 1 gap, when you are already passing slower traffic, but it's not worth pulling in. There is no point weaving in and out of lanes just to be ' correct '. You are probably only increasing your chances of an incident with a moron/woman/HGV driver than hasn't seen you, or couldn't care less anyway.
I personnaly love it when they try, I just close my gap and box them out.

Not you soft lad! This isnt a thread about HGV drivers is it
? I mean the original post. Itll be the same Billy-no-mates who has trolled SN in various guises for the last four-plus years. It must be gratifying for him to see that whenever he tries this, that the majority fall for it hook line and sinker.....

No, what I see, Simon 'Sexually Explicit Number' 69 is a whining little b1tch who would sooner run to his mummy crying troll than stick up for himself by actually articulating the reasons he has for disagreeing with something he reads on the internet.

So 200TLondon, if you are on the motorway and come up behind a queue of cars in lane 3, do you maintain position behind the last car, but in L1 or L2 until, they pull over ?
Try that on the M3 where I live and the next 100 cars will pile through and that gap you are waiting for in L3 will never appear.
Having said that, in my 12 miles commute on the motorway during rush hour I get there as fast as the L3 thrusters by staying in L1 with the occasional venture into L2 to overtake an artic.
