I'm a car driver,and I have a question for bikers.
When I'm out and about trundling along past a stationery or slow moving queue of traffic, bikers will pull out into my lane and overtake whether its broken white lines,solid lines,hatched area or right/left turn box.
So my question is why do you get so annoyed/ irate when I overtake slower vehicles when you are coming towards me?

maybe if your overtake is placing a bike in danger as your coming towards them in their lane...... do you realise as bikers we are more vulnerable and have less protection than cage drivers in their invinbility shielded vehicles??? btw dont tar us all with the same brush, car drivers have appaling road manners nowadays also..... |

And a biker coming towards me in my lane isn't placing themselves and me in danger? |

As a car driver unless it's a very fast car you probably don't appreciate the short distance a bike can overtake a car and get back in. Most car drivers don't change down two gears and accelerate hard to overtake. Most car drivers don't even know how hard they can accelerate in there car or use that acceleration. |

A rider knows his bike and when he looks like hes coming at you he really isnt , he knows where is exit point is or he wont over take |

I wish I could believe you that all bikers did know this, just this weekend I saw a biker overtaking across a right turn box, as the car behind me was pulling in to turn right, they didn't collide but two car's behind me locked wheels trying to avoid the bike and each other |

As a biker and a car driver
There are bad riders and bad drivers
People think bikers shouldn't filter .
On a bike youre more aware of what's going on around you
KNow you're machines power and it handling
Treat ever car driver like trying kill ya |

Why not get on a bike, have someone drive at you, then you will understand how it feels. |

There's good drivers and bikers and bad at both. But for the most part even a 125cc bike can out accelerate a car to 30mph. Most bikes can slip past a car far more quickly than any car. |

No I don't ride a bike so I don't understand the capabilities of bikes.
But this is not answering my question and therefore proving yourself to be the Karen surely |

Again not answering the question, saying get on a bike and have someone drive at me, I'm not interested in getting on a bike, I just want to understand the difference between a bike pulling into my lane and overtaking and me pulling into an oncoming bikes lane, one appears to be perfectly acceptable to bikers and the other seems to be a hanging offence |

If you got on a bike, then had someone drive at you. You would fully understand, why bikers don't like it being done to them. |

Not at all...... your in a group talking about stuff you dont understand. trying to prove a point you cannot make, its quite simple you dont like bikes you dont like bikers..... your ego got flattened by someone on a bike so now your triggered and think your on a mission to prove your pointless point.... your the bloke outside the pub wanting to argue and fight anyone, and when that moment gains fruition your crying to the bouncers for help.... just give it up man.... your gearbox is in neutral you aint going anywhere here!!!!!!!

To the original post ...... you have answered most of your own questions in a subsequent post.... you don't understand bikes or the capabilities... so it's a pointless question  |
