Ive resorted to fitting bright headlights and a loud exhaust so i try my hardest to be seen. if they still manage to miss me they'll definitly hear me. If they're both blind and deaf then i collect a wing mirror for my mantle piece. Afterall if they cant see, they aren't going to miss it

well another for me is bikers who think that they are immume to the speed limits. also the ones that expect me to move over on a narrow lane to they can zoom off. no. fuck off i'm doing the correct speed, and so should you! and while i'm at it don't sit crusing on the corner of my car! show some respect for the rest of us drivers, you are not the greatness you think you are.

Speed limits on motorways.
Get rid & put a minimum speed limit in place.

I can cope with 150mph, my car can if you & yours can't get off the road & let me getr where I want at a speed I want.

I am guilty of doing it at times but only to people who stick in the middle lane doing the speed limit when the slow one is free. I shouldnt be speeding, but if theres space to move then they should because they dont own the road. I'll give those people a gentle 'nudge' with the lights but i wont intimidate people who are doing what they should be as i woulnd't like it if a biker came up behind me whilst i was in the car doing the same.

That Needles & Pins has taken out a court order against me & I can't go any nearer than 100 miles to her.

So not fair.

I disagree, Needlesandpins and so does the law. The law says stick to the left most lane (here) unless you need to overtake. If it is free why is the driver in front not in it? For all they know i could be an unmarked police car/bike. Police do not have to have their lights on to travel over the speed limit so the middle lane hogger shouldn't be looking out purely for flashing lights as a warning to move over. Our electronic overhead motorway signs have even started showing 'do not hog the middle lane' recently. It wasnt me who decided to display that, its the rules here.

I'll do whatver speed suits the conditions in the left lane if its free, you'll not find me hogging the middle lane. If someone comes by me even faster and i can move safely into a slower lane i will because its courtious, why hold up someone else's day?

The tailgating and squeezing past in gaps that don't exist, im with you on that and that's unacceptable. But the middle lane hoggers are another of my pet peeves.

you are missing the point. if i am doing 70 in a 70 zone then fuck right off with expecting that you are any better a driver, or anything else. stick your arse a suitable distance behind me. when i'm ready to move i will, if not then tough luck. you are not the police, you are just someone that thinks he has the right to break the limit that the law sets for YOU.

here's another thought for you; if people are in the middle lane then why arn't you in the outside lane mr speedy? or why not just give yourself more time to stick to the limits?

the roads are not a race track, and you have no right to use them as such. take your bike, nudge right off, and use a speed track. at least there you are only putting likeminded people at risk, not general road users.
