I had to to it again yesterday.

First time was a girl in a pickup truck driving on 2 lane in each direction twisty but populated road (FM2222) and was cutting across the inside lane around turns and going back to the outside when it straightened out. Not really speeding, but I was in amazement at what I was watching while I'm 50 feet behind her on a motorcycle. What the fuck is she thinking? She was on the cell phone at one point too. This isn't the first time I've seen it but some days I let it slide and some days I don't. Luckily she pulled into a gas station shortly after so I didn't have to park in front of her at a stop light and get run over or shot through the window, or worse, moving road block her into stopping and risk even more hurt on my end primarily to chew her head off. This one was very apologetic, like any poor girl would be to an angry biker in black.

So yesterday I was riding down LCR (around the speed limit aye thank you), and coming around the first real hair pin going north, when a new model white corolla or something with 20" ricer wheels comes drifting around the turn, coming into my lane right in front of me just before apex, and I see some dumb bitch in the drivers seat. I pull a quick U turn and catch up to her with a quickness. My rear was breaking loose all over the place hitting the tar snakes with every revolution of the wheel. She was on the gas a little too considering it was a slow ass corolla and I had to actually use the throttle to catch her before the volente beach stop sign.

Now was the interesting part. I got in front of her right after the stop sign and attempted to pull over motorcop style minus the black and white paint job, siren, flashing lights, or jurisdiction. I slow down and point at the first place she can pull over, and of course she just goes around me. I get back in front of her again, stop the bike, and sternly motion for her to pull the fuck over.

This slack jawed retard was just blankly staring like she was stoned. I couldn't tell if she was in an adrenaline shock or just terribly naive, but taking into consideration she was either A) Speeding and somehow lost the rear on a front wheel drive car or B) Pulled the E brake, I put an effort into trying to make her shed a tear through moral ground. By the end of her reality check guilt trip she was getting emotional and got the point so I told her to get the fuck out of here before I did something I would later regret. Hopefully she started bawling her eyes out and drove into a tree soon after.

Trailer park class acts I tell ya. They should be pedaling their dumb fat asses around by law until they pass an IQ test.

yep, did it once. it was back in april when i was was down at Deal's Gap. me and a couple of other guys i had met werre making one last run right before dark as we were all going home the next day. i caught up to this douche in a cadillac cts that was all over the road, almost completely on the wrong side in left hand turn. he was going pretty slow to so i got right up behind him so my headlight was in his mirror. after a while he pulled aside to let me pass, but first i stopped next to him and started screaming. he put his window down with this real stupid look on his face and i kindly explained how he was driving like an asshole and was going to kill someone. he had his whole family in the car too. he didn't really reply at all though

Did anyone miss what the first girl did? I know she did something, she was talking on a cell phone, she pulled into a gas station shortly after whatever it was that she did to you, and that you made her cry.

You know, some cagers would like to pull you over and yell at you for coming from the slow lane, into the fast lane to take a sharp turn, and then returning back to the slow lane. Your taking up 2 lanes to make a turn. Your lucky. When I car wants you to pull over, they just bump you, and then stop where ever your body landed...

I have a bad temper, and supposed I would take more action if I had something on my bike that I could use, but I am 5'10", 150lbs, and the body build of a string bean. The only thing I would have going for me is my helmet and jacket.

Is this a serious post or a joke? So you've been pulling women over and making them cry? If I pulled everyone over that drove like an idiot and endangered me I would be spending more time doing that than actually riding.

In left-hand curves, she was in the outside lane and coming across the yellow, into the inside lane. Traffic coming around the curve in the other direction would have run head on into her, or had to drive into the other lane, potentially taking out other traffic.

Where did he say he did or does that? If someone is doing this, then they need more practice taking sharp turns. That is extraordinarily dangerous.

I followed some lady home one day in our truck - we were on a two lane road that merges into a single lane; she was in the merge lane (on the left hand side) in a little Mercedes and I was in the F-150 in the through lane (the right lane) - she was RIGHT next to my door and there is no way she couldn't see me.

She's running out of room and can't get past me, so, rather than slowing down, she simply COMES OVER. I slam on my brakes and swerve to the right.

That REALLY pissed me off because I KNEW she saw me and just didn't care, so I followed her a couple of miles home and when she pulled in and got out, I rolled my window down, and, surprisingly, didn't scream at her; I didn't even cuss her out.

I asked her what she was doling; why would she do that? Turns out she was foreign and hadn't been driving long. She saw she was running out of room and panicked - although why panic involves trying to drive your 2500 lb car INTO a 5000lb 4x4 truck, I'll never know.

I explained to her that she CANNOT do things like that and to slow down and get behind traffic next time. I also impressed upon her that I am a rider, and, had I been on my bike, she may have killed me.

She was very apologetic, and, I wasn't really mad at that point, just jacked up on adrenaline. It's a good thing the drive to her house was a couple miles, because had we stopped at the moment it happened, I might have pulled her out of her car...

probably not the best idea. the conflict would escalate.

better to let them know they made a mistake by honking or waving, middle finger and then go about your own business.

wait till u pull over the wrong person then u will regret it.

<snip>

so I followed her a couple of miles home
Okay, you had a few miles to think about your course of action. Remember the rider who got whacked by Daddy after following Daddy's girls home?

Dude, seriously. If they're that bad a driver, I myself would prefer to put as much distance between myself and them as possible; not follow and confront them.

I'll shake my head I'll point at my visor ie look you dumbarse. I will not try and pull someone over while most people won't do anything there are a few loose ones out there. 2 tonne of vehicle vs 200kgs of motorcycle you are going to loose and the right bare arms/conceled weapons permit doesn't exist here.

Ok, I'll chime in. Damn near everyone behind the wheel of a car drives like an idiot at least some of the time. Some people drive like idiots most or all of the time. The point is, why sweat 1 or 2 people just for driving like the rest of us? I NEVER expect people in cars around me to make safe and sound decisions. Therefore I'm not surprised and deeply insulted when someone does make an asshole move. As long as the shiny side is still up, irritated as I may be, I'd rather just continue on my way. Also, I live in one of I believe only two states that don't allow CCW. You people in the other 48 are at a much greater risk of pissing someone off and getting shot than me. Use your heads and keep riding. Fuck the cagers. The don't care, they've never cared, and as long as talking on a cell phone, texting, eating, reading, putting on makeup, getting road head, etc. are all still allowed, they'll continue to not care.

Anyone ever had to pull a car over and chew them out?

To be honest, nowadays I've had more of an urge to pull my "fellow" riders over and chew them out.
So true, thank you.

And no, Ive never pulled over to yell at a driver. I ride a lot in PA and the last thing I need is the driver to pull out a 6'' magnum and blow me away. Or even in Jersey, who knows, the driver could be some MMA fighter and all I would think is 'done son' haha. Theres too many negative factors in being that close to someone while your both pissed off, AND your on a motorcycle which makes it that much worse.

As much as Id love to kick the mirror off that bitches SUV for cutting me off 2 interesections ago, its not worth it...for me.

NORMALLY, I would, however, this was such a gross example of either stupidity or willful disregard for others, that I couldn't let it go.

IMO, drivers that get away with stupid shit will continue it; eventually they're going to hurt someone else. It seems a lot of the behavior we observe on a daily basis is the result of people not speaking up and saying 'hey - enough is enough'.

Most of what happens IS accidental, and I'm not going to sweat someone cutting me off because it may have been a honest mistake.

i AGREE. If i can safely tell an idiot what they just did wrong, or at least scare the hell out of them, I will. Guaranteed they will think twice before blowing a red light if I put the fear of god in them
