I know we all see them every time we ride out but today one idiot drove out of a left hand junction in Launceston drove around the outside of me then drove into the right side of me nearly knocking me off damaging my faring only paint work luckily,
I then confronted him when we both stopped the driver suggested I should look where I was going ,which insensed me as he hit me !!!!!!! any way we exchanged a few heated words and I left him there but what an idiot!!!.

You probably blinded him with your headlight.

Glad no injuries. Claiming against him for the damage?

Should have called the police and reported him for failing to stop after an accident & refusing to give insurance details after an incident where physical damage has occurred. If you have his reg number, it might still be worth a visit to the local cop shop to see what they say .......

Its also the time of year when car drivers seem unable to clean their windscreens of condensation/ frost/ road crap etc and try to drive while looking through the bottom 1/4 of the screen.......genuinely saw that the other morning

A stupid car driver pulled out in front of a great friend of mine & has left him paralysed. We're holding a fund raiser on March 1st (see other events) hopefully we'll not only raise plenty of money for a great cause, but hopefully get the message across to a few car drivers to 'THINK BIKE'.

Sometimes I think all car drivers should have to spend so long on a motorcycle as part of the driving test, often you can easily spot an inconfident driver and I will often hang back or pass when its safe but often wonder how long these people would last on 2 wheels where concentration is required at all times.

at Westward ho, apparently drunk and was arrested at the scene , having read other things about him and if true hopefully will be put away for a long time
