She is one of those evil soccer mum type 4wders...

We are obviously the most dangerous ppl on the road for motorcyclists..
Neither of us have had an accident with one though..

So we must be talking about the non rider, cage drivers then.
My parents are those evil old ppl in 4wd's..
They've never had an accident with a motorcyclists either...

So it must be the others.!

Oh yeh, I know who it is...



ITS THE DICKHEADS WHO HAVE THERE THERE HEADS UP THERE ASSES.
and it doesn't matter what they drive or there sex, and motorcyclists are not void of these types....
They'll run into your car as easy as they'll run into your motorcycle..
They may even be riding a motorcycle when they do it...

Banning Dickheads is the only solution..
But we will loose a lot of motorcyclists....
I know plenty of sane 4WD drivers, have seen a fair number of insane Excell drivers, and a fair few crotch rocketeers on bikes. So size of vehicle only has to do with the relative space taken and the mass involved.

I agree, ban the idiots. The net result would be a lot less people on the roads, and a lot fewer fatalities.
Well just to add to that line of thinking had an idoit scream up beside me, at full throttle by the sound, coming up to changing traffic lights only to slam on the brakes and lock em up in a nice two wheel smoke-everywhere, stall the thing, screaming hault, inches (Literally) from the small Hyundai in front of him
He was RIDING a ZX6R
dickheads come in all shapes and sizes
(am i allowed to use the word Dick and Come in the same sentance?)

I actually think it has to do with the amount of risk you pose to them more than anything. A semi makes a big dent a bike a (relatively) small one
This is so true.When i was motorcycle couriering,the amount of times that dickheads would pull out in front of me,knowing full well that they had seen me yet continue to pull out.I used to think to myself,i bet you wouldnt do that if i was driving a bloody huge semi.
Also some guys here think the answer is to accelerate and get out the way.Yes in some situations this is true,but remember that it is also true the the faster you are going the longer it takes to pull up in an emergancy if the occassion arises.Each situation has to be taken on its merrits i think.

hey, just remember

ones definition of a dickhead is completely different to someone elses.


i'm sure we've all done stuff and someone else on the roads uttered "dickhead"
