Been Around the Block
Well been riding for about a year now without issue, was actually starting to have a sparkle of faith in humanity and people particularly there driving skills... until tonight, Almost ended up getting scraped off the highway. Im boiling mad about it!!!!
I was in the fast lane making a lane change to the right and it was well signaled and there wasn't anybody really around me, as i was about 3/4 through my lane change i see a really fast and close headlight moving left towards me jump across my right mirror. I instantly stopped moving right im maybe 9" from the lane markers in the new lane, next thing i know this idiot is right beside me and still moving into me, i hit the brakes hard, he springs infront of me and stops moving left hes driving about 2/3 in my lane and 1/3 in the next lane right and there is no longer a overlap, i see him spinning his head around looking to see wtf, then he floors it and takes off up to about 170km/h
At this point i got really really mad not so much on the fact he almost hit me but by his post action, after he cut me off leaving me no where to go, He looked around then floored it and speed off (effectively fleaing the scene), yeah well im still breathing so your not getting off that easy, IM ON A BIKE! your in a X-trail, i dropped forth and chased this F*#$er down, got his plate, make and model. Now im just debating what to do with it, you used to be able to report people like this.... but that was years ago....
Thank you, self for having 10 years of driving cars behind me and 4 years of dirt biking. Not to mention being real calm and collected and hard to rattle. Also thanks to my motorcycle training coarse, and teaching myself street riding progressively. Had some of these factors been different I don't feel id be here.
Anyways take it easy out there and be careful!!!!!!! Feel free to share and discuss the topic, hopefully it will save a life or two....
