Stupid Motorbike Drivers
Coming home after seeing my family from up north.. Geting off the A406 around the corner from my house & im about 2 turn into my road a motor bike come flying even when hes seen me indicating into my room, just about to turn in & he slow's right down but infacts STOP to give way & im about to turn in & he drives on & just missed him as i braked very sharp! Then he stops right nere the back of my car & gives it a really hard kick !
After the next second ive stoped & jumped out 2 ask what the hell hes playing at by this time ive noticed my back bumper has been dented & onto the floor
Now im with my mum & dad who are very old that got scared & started 2 get pannic !
The biker started to drive off afew feet & then he starts 2 swear at me like im in the wrong ere & drives off like nothing had happened
I was very angery at the fact one i almost knocked him over infront of my car then 2nd i get to c my bumper off my car dented & onto the floor, 3rd he swears at me like im the one in the wrong !
Was i in the wrong or should i ave done somthing different ?
I've got the number plate & also a good look at what he look like..
Its not the bumper im woryed about im more woryed about someone else knocking him out in front of there car !
I gave the police the number plate & statement on what had happened but the police told me 2 find him myself & deal with the matter by myself ..
They said trace the number plate & go to hes house & make him pay for it

I know what you mean, i drive up n down the A2 which is always chocka with cars in each lane. You get bikers goin up inbetween each lane through tiny gaps, and if you go to pull out or pull into a lane its very easy not to notice one.
Then they go and get the hump because you nearly knock em off!! maybe they need to be knocked off a few times before they learn they aren't invincible.

I would write to the chief ****stable to ask what your hard earned council tax money is being spent on if it's not investigating criminal damage?

There are some imbeciles in uniform for sure, but even if they thought it, I can't see them saying that.

I personally would not find where this biker is. He must be built like f00kin Robocop to kick your bumper off whilst sitting on his bike.

You just need to actually look in them before doing a "Wow - a gap that I can gain a whole car length before stopping again" manouvre.

PMSL at your car as it must be held together with feckin rust and gaffer tape.... as a swift (seated) kick and *twang* your bumpers on the floor...
Next time just stay in the car and let your mum handle it

did it ever enter your head he ( the biker) was the one being cautious?
ie slowing down as he thought you were gonna turn in in front of him... which is exactly what you did... which is probably also why you got your bumper kicked off !!!!!!
we bikers have to treat every car driver as tho they're gonna pull out in front of you/ not see you etc
Did he flash his light at you or wave you round to take your turning??
It's not the motorbike riders that are stupid here... it's the car drivers!!!!
we have to have our wits about us at all times and have to concentrate a damn sight harder than you do in your metal shell. Being able to ride a bike has also given me much more awareness of my surroundings and other vehicles when i'm in the car!
everbody should be made to ride a bike when taking a car test... then they too get to know how vulnerable us bikers are !!!!!

Two issues here:
1. Some confusion as to whether the biker had slowed to let him turn or was just being cautious. I'd normally wait for a flash or wave before making any manuovere. So someone is at fault be it biker or car driver, all it needs is a wave to say sorry. No one got hurt.
2. Regardless of whos fault it is, going and kicking someones car sufficiently hard to dent / break the bumper is well out of order. At the end of the day it's criminal damage and the police should deal with it accordingly. The biker should learn to control his road rage.
Personally if the police don't want to know, I'd tell them that you and a few "mates" are heading to his house to extract the money for the damage with baseball bats and that you'll call them when you get there so that they can come and sort out the aftermath.
Was he on his bike when he kicked your car? If so then he's also left the scene of an accident without supplying details = points and a fine.
Typical of most bikers I've met though, real attitude problem towards other road users, think they own the highways.

Oh come on, bikers follow the highway code to the letter do they
Yeah there are a lot of bad drivers on the road but that's the way it is, it's not going to improve overnight, quite the opposite I think. I see it all the time when driving, but I don't get wound up, just chuckle to myself at their stupidity. I'm very aware of what's going on around me and always consider what the actions of other road users may be. So far (touches wood) that has held me in good stead and I've had very few accidents in my long driving career.
Most of the dangerous and irresponsible driving I've ever seen has been by bikers.

I cant really make out whats exactly happened here but you did well to spot he was an old fella with his lid on..
Have a look on the Visordown website and search for threads starting" kicked a scoobys bumper clean off"..I guess he was wearing M/X boots, good bit of weight and you cant feel anything thru 'em
Done a few doors, panels and lots of mirrors in my riding career but never a bumper..respek...
