This morning N1 south just past the Stormvoël offramp a guy dressed all black clothing on a black BMW motorbike starts to ref his bike at a white Mercedes vito, because the bike could not get past quick enough. The vito attempted to move into the half a meter emergency lane but this was not done fast enough for this ****er on the bike. The guy on the bike then pointed fingers in a rage at the vito then smacked its mirror and then raced away. Obviously with no number plate. That’s a bit of a troll move to damage someone’s vehicle and then run away.

In another incident I am driving behind a young lady in a corsa. Its afternoon rush hour traffic jhb to pta, and an accident has 2 lanes closed. This lady has been trying for the last 2 km’s to move into the left lane.
Someone finally gives her a gap. Traffic moving at probably 2 km/h. As she starts moving into the gap the traffic comes to a full stop she is now standing still between the 2 lanes. At that moment a bike comes racing between the cars. The bike had to stop. He starts to ref his bike waving his arms at this girl. 2 seconds later the traffic moves again and she moves completely into the left lane. So this guy on the bike stops next to her window slams the window and then proceeded to break of her mirror and then race away. This girl was shocked and in tears.

I am wondering if this c@nt goes home and tells his mates how he put a motorist in his place. In a car it takes 1 – 2 hours to get home. A bike probably 15 minutes in the same traffic. So for you to be patient for 5 seconds it will not make you get home later. I don’t understand this. Some bikers has to freak out if he has to slow down for a car and he loses 5 seconds of time. The same bike gets to the toll gate (if he actually pays) has to take off his gloves search for cash which is a slow process. And not one car will hoot or ref there car at the bike.

I was also unlucky to wait at a red robot and a guy on a big r1200 drove between the standing cars. The 2 lanes are barely big enough for the 2 rows of cars but this guy just pushed his way between the cars.
As he came passed he knocked my mirror with his handle bar, bent the mirror forward and breaking the glas itself.

He turned his head towards me looked me in the eye and just sped off.
 
*******s will be *******s be it in a car or a bike.
 
It's just that when these asshơles drive cars they blend in with the rest of car drivers - you don't notice them as much.
It's not bike drivers, it's asshơles: People who went through 12 years of education without learning how to be a decent person, how to have patience, or how to think before acting like the juvenile asshơles they turned out to be.

That's pretty much it, wow what a great post.
Its also upbringing... Doesn't matter the mode of transportation. There's always some chip on the shoulder, or small cock that's being over-compensated for.
 
Don't understand why everyone can just be patient and courteous.

I can close my side mirrors with a button.

The last guy that tried to smash my mirror smashed his hand into the structural part of the car body there. I figured what he was attempting just quick enough to close the mirrors.

He came off his bike as he really injured his hand. He landed on the centre island.
I continued with the traffic. Not my fault he has schit balance.

Where I can I will leave space, but if I don't leave the space there is a reason.
I will not fear them.

I you are brave enough to damage property be brave enough to do it with your number plates on.
 
Happened to me as well. A tattoed laaitjie who looked like a pooes on a BMW bike knocked my right mirror, leaving it hanging. Luckily I managed to get his license plate. I took a drive to his flat in Phoenix and took along a pitbull-lookaliker friend of mine to persuade him to act like not-a-pooes in future.
 
So.... are riders breaking the law by passing cars between two lanes of traffic?

Im Pretty sure they are. Its generally overlooked in bumper to bumper traffic, and im ok with it. But any other time when cars are driving at the speed limit and they want to do double inbetween cars, then i consider them *********s, especially if they just assume people must give them way.

They are not breaking the law.

Lane splitting in a safe and prudent manner is not illegal in South Africa.

Until you think there's something wrong with your tyre and you open the door on a bike passing by...
