Things that irritate you - Part 2

[Neuk_]

When you get to a 4 way stop and the other guy stops 3 meters before the line so that he technically "stopped first" and therefore needs to go first

He is wrong, you have right of way, he hasn't reached the stop street yet.

Exactly.

Lane splitting motorcycles that get ahead of you at the traffic lights then ride slower than the speed limit, pfffft.

On the road we travel everyday, there is large lady on a scooter, who makes her way all the way to the front of the queue, then takes off again at the speed of molasses, becuase the bikes battling with the load.

When someone wakes you 2 hours after going to bed, to clean up a mess the cat made.

You now belong to the dogs, best respect your owners.

My dad's been in his fair share of bike accidents, hence I try and be aware of and courteous towards bikers, but some of them are just real f-wits.

 

[The_Librarian]

I always try to be courteous towards bikers, but like @PhreakBoy said, you get those who are real [censored]. It is these who give the good bikers a bad name.

While I'm here I may as well add to the list -

Bikers that ride with brights and spotlights on blinding everyone in front of them.
Bikers that ignore car turn signals when changing lanes and play the victim and get aggressive.
Lane splitting at breakneck speeds.
Lane splitting combined with popping a wheelie at breakneck speeds.
Delivery bikers going through a red traffic light at 60km/h crossing Old Paarl road at night.

Side note, I was/am (can't make up my mind anymore) a biker, so this is just my viewpoint on how other bikers behave on the roads. Yes, I have witnessed all of the above, mostly peak hour traffic on the N1 heading into town or vice versa in the afternoon.

Darwin will sort them out but I just hope I do not have to witness it again.

I R biker and I agree with all the above.

I was a biker, and I agree with the above.

When I watch biker dashcams, I go WTF every time a biker does lane splitting at speed.

I did lane splitting, but only at traffic lights and when the traffic was standing still, not in moving traffic.

I've mentioned them here before, but RAM Courier drivers.

I take the Barbara and Edevale offramps on the R24 and the RAM dispatch is in Isando. These guys think they own the Barbara offramp.

This morning had one in the left lane of the highway going slower and slower and slower - reluctant to pass as I get off at the next offramp, but eventually get a gap. Dude is sitting reading his logbook and must have not realised that his foot came off the accelerator!
