Do you have a death wish? It may be only 19:30 on a mid-summer evening but there is a huge black cloud over us causing extremely gloomy conditions on the busy M62. It is raining so hard that spray thrown up by vehicles has reduced visibility to 50 metres. You are a driving instructor so you really ought to know that you need your lights on. That's the third vehicle in 30 seconds that has swerved from the middle lane to the outside lane to avoid ploughing into the back of you. ARE YOU MAD - SWITCH YOUR LIGHTS ON NOW! :wacko:

I had a close pass while out riding today from a driving instructor. There was only one person in the car so it had to be the instructor!!!

That's what we thought - unless someone had stolen the car ... :whistle:

While I am back in this thread ... A shout out to the f*ckw*t psycho driver who decided to play chicken with me on today's ride! He pulled out to overtake another vehicle down the road from me in a place that was not suitable for overtaking, with me in the middle of my lane riding towards him. I am absolutely sure that he saw me but he continued to accelerate towards me even after he had cleared the vehicle that he was overtaking. I thought about sacrificing my life to teach him a lesson about how tedious fatal accident investigations are but decided against it and abandoned the road with less than 1 second to go to impact. (I had already planned my escape route. I'd spotted a driveway with a dropped kerb to my left and sprinted up there just in time.) The driver had a manic grin on his face as he went by. I called out a 'friendly greeting' as he did so ... :cursing:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I bet you are never ill. That is because even germs don't like you.....

That happened to me recently, it was a local company so I emailed a copy of the paragraph in the German highway code about giving cyclists 3 metres room when passing, and not overtaking on the approach to a blind summit, and asked them to remind the driver of the vehicle of this, and also that as an instructor in a clearly marked vehicle from a local independent company he should set a rather better example.

You're a colleague and we get on fine, really quite well....but you're a snowflake, someone is always wrong and you moan inccessantly about EVERYTHING...and i mean everything.
Now your boiler has just been condemned. You're moaning now about how it's broke down again, about how they have to put scaffolding up when you don't think they need to, you're going to give them both barrels because its always breaking down, you're moaning they havn't got a clue what they're doing and completely overlooked the point i just made....look on the bright side, it won't cost you a penny and you'll probably get a new boiler out of it. Win win ?...but no, you're winding yourself into an apoplectic rage about it.

Strewth :wacko:
