Psycho bus driver

I like doing the 'go slow' in front of them. It does more damage to their fragile little minds than a load of yelling (which I would've done already anyway).

I frequently do the go slow thing on people who beep their horn at me.

as he had already had one go at trying to hit me I did not think going slowly in his path would be such a wise move.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]That assumes they won't just plough through you...[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]2 weeks ago I got into verbals with some pikey in a barry'd up Focus. Actually He started it by coming over and pulling window down after I shook my head at him for pulling out of side road when I was riding past... flippin close. Anyway got to a junction and pulled up next to each other, I tried to ignore him and take the moral high ground but as we pulled of he swerved over to try and crush me against another vehicle. Thankfully the other un-sighted driver spotted and hit brakes saving my bacon.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]The most frustrating bit was I tanked after him intend on ripping off his wing mirror in traffic and then disappearing into the night, but he turned off just as I reached him… admittedly had the rage on so probably for the best.[/FONT]

Being a fat old git, I always do the "go slow" but I do it assertively. I take up a whole lane anyway.

Cut and paste FAIL

clear copy and paste from word blunder above, apologies.

Anyway in addition, the best retaliatory move I have witnessed involved a training ride with a friend though surrey hills. A white transit pulled out in front of us steaming down hill and was a pretty hairy moment indeed. Pull up at some lights at bottom of hill and my freind knocks on the window of drivers side... 3 big bare chested tattooed goons in cab. Im thinking shit could be in trouble here as my friend was full of rage. But as they scrolled the window down he just grabbed keys out of the ignition and started riding with me in hot pursuit. He then flung them into a field and we rode off watching three angry builders chasing us down the road and laughing very very hard!

A while ago a driver with one of the TfL "I am a twat" stickers in the back of his car, pulled out without looking and almost had me off. I coughed. He had his window open and jumped out as I avoided him and started shouting at me. I stopped. He continued ranting and eventually asked "Do you want to do something about it?" I swiftly replied, as I rode off "I don't fight with mini cab drivers". This seemed to inflame him more but by then I was gone.

Moral is, ensure you can get away and NEVER use any form of force other than to protect yourself.

that is rather good

i've heard messing with their far rearvison mirror really pisses them off and they have to stop to adjust them... not done this myself, but been run into the curb plenty of time, after being over taken... not sure if it's malicous or they just have no concept, maybe half and half... i was once run onto the curb and almost into a policeman who then told me off for riding on the the footpath and at night without a light...

It's a shitload harder for him to argue "oh I didn't see you" if he tail ends you.
In all my years, it's only been that Jagcunt that stepped up to the challenge of trying to run me down.. and I didn't even encourage him!
Go slow.. if he touches your bike.. dismount and throw your (now damaged) bike through his face killing him until his small penis falls off.. or something.
The last two bus drivers to cut me up have both challenged me to a fight and yet haven't bothered stepping out of their little boxes to follow through with their threats.
Life's a bitch and then you get your head killed off.

haha, same thing happened to me only instead of taking the reg down I took a picture of him, he got off the bus punched me in the face then threw my bike into the oncoming traffic and snapped the tendon in my finger during the scuffle which ensued.

Police turned up and carted him off but because no bones were broken they only gave him a caution!? ..cunt

What?! Imagine you getting on the bus and punching him, you'd be up for everything they could throw at you.

To death.

I love that! "I don't fight with mini cab drivers".

"I'm a pacifist!!!" while you hold him in a headlock and punch him repeatedly in the face.

not good mate, but at least you and the bike are alright, hopefully you have calmed down by now eh? ;)

Window hammers on a ski lift pass or similar type cord would have been nice here?

thats nuts!

ACAB and bus drivers too

i hit the stop button on a buss that hit me with its wing mirror once. the driver got out, he was big, as in massive, as in tall enough to lift me off the ground (and im 6ft 6in) he then pressed me agains the buss with his hands around my neck, and my bike still clipped to my shoes. He choked me so hard i had red hand prints there for the rest of the day.

i dont know if anyone remembers this but some time last year or the year before that
but on lower clapton road a bus drove into the corner of a derelict pub near the bottom of lower clapton round the corner from kings hall
i cant find any news on it
but was really funny, after knowing that all passengers were safe

That'll be the Lord Cecil (recently saved from demolition):

Four passengers suffered minor injuries.

What's funny about it if a bus crashes into a building?

Chris, and others (i think), when you press the buttom do you not absolutley peg it? Probably a wise idea to do so.

guys chill! i know it's tough when the adrenaline is going, but let it go! it's fine to knock on the odd window and maybe give the finger now and then, but check yourself before you're actually challenging people to fights!

you're giving us the impression that you just press the button and stood there waiting to get a gold star from the teacher, giving enough time for the bus driver to promptly appear (given that he's massive, he can't be a fast runner either).

so how exactly you managed not to absolutely legged it?

the busses in my area are alright, its the twats with expensive cars that are the wankers. theyre in an expensive car and therefore everyone else is worthless, especially the lowest of the low, the cyclists. they dont even have a cheap car!

im a big fan of the go slow, or if they do somthing to actually danger me, try to catch them and punch one of thier windows in. i wear leather motorbike gloves so this isnt too difficult when i am pumped with rage. ive cracked the windows on two porches, a lambagini, and bunch of boring cars. if somone does somthing dangerous that could threaten me i enter into revenge mode.
