Just when you think you've see just about the depth of idiocy that the human mind is capable of.....
Sitting in primary position at a T junction on a little country road, waiting to turn right onto a busy main road. After a minute or so I hear a horn sound twice, but even with a hearing aid in my directional hearing is crap, plus I didn't think it had anything to do with me until a gent in a large black Audi coupe of some sort pulled up to my left, turned towards me and put his right indicator on.
I glanced across at the suited shitforbrains in the drivers seat and considered the consequence of being forced into oncoming traffic by the twat.
I've been driving and motorcycling for a long time, and have a pretty good eye for the converging speed of other vehicles, so when the traffic cleared to my right and two cars came from the left at just the right speed, I kicked off hard and slotted right behind the second car. A quick glance back showed Audiwanker to be still sitting at the junction.
I then turned left off the main road and continued a very pleasant but chilly ride.
Not able to report him unfortunately, as I never saw his reg, but it made for an interesting interlude.
