(umairhashmi @ Sep. 10 2006,17:50) While i would never pull OUT in front of anyone i have blocked crazy cagers in the past.Last week i was in a 2 lane road going at 50 or so.Suddenly some ricerboy in a honda civic comes up zooming.I adjusted my speed to the exact same as the car next to me.Kid flashed his lights n honked but i didnt move.Im sure he had fun being stuck behind us for like 20 minutes or soThe only option of passing he had was to get on the grass and pass but he didnt do it.
It can be considered as that, but keep in mind traffic law has more loopholes in it then this country has curves in the roads. Proof of that is in how many incidents we hear of motorcyclists getting killed with the negligent driver getting off with a suspended license. Same stuff happens with other vehicals as well all the time. Had a cop tell me if ya ever wanted to murder someone, do it on the road. You just may get away with it!
I hope your not ridding out here in CA. The last thing we need is another road rager. Just change lanes accel around them and continue with your life.(COLDSTONE1298 @ Sep. 11 2006,23:15)It can be considered as that, but keep in mind traffic law has more loopholes in it then this country has curves in the roads.

In terms of tossing stuff at morons windsheilds, i've done it. Ball bearings or marbles make the statement though i've used rusted old masterlocks before. All incidents had the chumps right on my tail so close i can't even see their grill. Never did it thinking it would slow them down or stop them (though it very well did), rather just to let them know what can happen with the next rider they tailgate. Plate wasn't hard to reach behind and hide either so that nixes much they can report.
I've had a freind who said Pink paintballs are the best fun. Just the fact of splatting up their car is better then actual smashing damage.I don't do it that much anymore. Just give them the one finger solute and go into "Ghost Rider" mode. If they're dumb enough to try and keep up like an enraged Jeremy Clarkson......well that's their accident to deal with when it happens (oh and it does....trust me). I'll be in the next zipcode enjoying my life.
As for "taking it out on the next guy", reason why the cager pulled in front of a speeding bike posted here in the first place was probably for that. People are morons and any smart rider will treat them as such and expect the worst from every vehical they encounter. Never assume they're watching out for you or won't harm you. That's suicide no matter what your speed is.
Yeah, we have to weigh in all factors... Unfortunately, this beotch decided to play CHP on you. However, even though I always speed like a psycho, you were going faster that conditions permit. You know there is always going to be one idiot CHP wannabe on the road to play rolling roadblock. Now, had it been the middle of the night with no-one else around there would have been problems.(warwgn @ Sep. 08 2006,14) I know what you mean, they were playing traffic police!!! They know you were speeding so they feel it's their duty to slow you down. I would love to shoot those people who do that
Or the ones who move over so you cant pass just beacuse they can!!!
Definitely a voice of Reason! I have never seen a safe mode on the 405 Fwy that 110 could be anywhere near prudent! That would make you the Menace on the Freeway not the Car!
Peep the third paragraph mon. Said I grew away from doing it much since i've found the worst thing you can do to them is flip 'em off and smoke 'em. Sometimes i don't even do that and the morons just want to take chase because pulling ahead and away "offends" their lil world and ego (especially true with the sportscar/tuner crowd). Dusting them punishes them bigtime since they can only A). sit there engulfed in their own self-brought rage that they couldn't push their weight on something smaller yet much faster then them or b.) foolishly take chase and still get left behind providing they don't crash or get a cops attention first. Bottom line whatever they do after i get on the thrust and ditch them is their fault alone Since i'm parting myself from the situation altogether. Last I Checked, humans can only drive one vehical at a time.
True but i've hardly met a cager that's "Fair" to anyone let along motorcyclists. Whenever theres a bike accident the car/truck owner usually just has to say "I didn't see them officer or, they were going so fast". It's not like your gonna be in condition to tell your story and it's rare when witnesses will tell the fair side for the rider. And be it you were flying, eye witness testimony wouldn't be good for you if a accident did happen.
