DAO4 NXM - Cnut of the day

It would be a shame to lose such gifts to a thoughtlessly aimed projectile. Their card is marked!

swines. i had a plastic bottle kicked under my front wheel on rainy Bishopsgate once...yet to have one thrown at me from a car window though. Hope you locate the car and do a big poo on their bonnet.

do these idiots not realise that it only takes one bottle for you to end up crashing? and possibly end up in serious injury?

Hope you find these fucks again and make sure that they get the message.

^^^what is that?

valve extractor?

Not much use against German school kids then?

I was egged late last Tuesday. Awesome throw it was. I'm surprised it took this long to be honest.
Hit me in the guts so I didn't feel a thing :)

Funny thing was I swung around and chase them. They shot down a couple of turns and I couldn't see where they went. Asked a guy if he saw a black car and he said it had just gone down 'there' without any lights on.

Ha.. cunts were running scared from a guy on a bike. Didn't find them though.

Hope you got the reg number. My forehead's still slightly tender to the touch despite it only being hit by a plastic bottle. I guess it slowed pretty quickly as it was tossed back at me and was nigh on stationary when I hit it at 50 20+. Aside from the assault aspect it was a really good shot!

I really need a budget ANPR outfit for a bit of white van vengence.

You really should report it to the police, as yours may not be the first report of that vehicle.

I was hit recently by a brat throwing a something out of the car window, reported to the Police, who seemed to take it very seriously!

Nope, I'm usually pretty good with registration but I was cruising up a hill a bit pissed and not paying attention (not that I should have to be on the lookout for fuckheads all the time), the car coming down and it was only at the last second I saw the guy hanging out the window. By the time I'd swung the bike around after being hit the car was 100m away heading around the corner.
I thought about reporting the car but I wasn't too bothered to be honest. If I had their plates I might've.

I did call the Police via 999 straight away and they said they would circulate the number. I never had any call back so guess that lead nowhere. The operator said I needed to go to the station and report it but tbh it's hardly likely to be followed up, particularly as it was the passenger and not the driver. Hopefully their system puts a comment on the car which will get flagged up if it ever gets stopped. Similarly I'd like to think it would trigger ANPR equiped cars. Any coppers on the forum?
I have the reg no sat on the dashboard of my van and am keeping my eyes open for the car.

waiting at the lights on the Upper Richmond Road at Barnes the other night i had a guy half hanging out of a car about three vehicles back shouting "you fucking stay there boy. don't you dare ride off, you fucking wait there". needless to say, i didn't bother hanging around for the light to change to see what this nutter wanted. a bit further up the road, he went past me, still hanging out the window shouting "you fucking scumbag" with such hatred it was scary. it looked as though he was in a minicab, and the driver was giving me as wide a berth as possible (which was something at least).
i don't know why people do this - maybe they were just ignored when they were little. i took solace in the fact that he had hair like those x-factor twins...

He was quite clearly just a nutter, I wouldn't worry.

Funny to hear about that happening in Barnes though, I lived there for 4 years and it is no Hackney!

Funnily enough, I was thinking about keeping my valve extractor on my key ring just yesterday. Anyone is a major cunt to you on the road, catch up to them at a traffic light, hide in blind spot and unscrew the valve. Instant tyre deflation.

quite difficult to twist your keys round with it. It needs a carrying loop at the top that freely spins round so you don't need to twist all your keys, but just the shaft (fnarr fnarr etc). Valve also forced out at high speed, in random directions, if unscrewed while tyre is inflated (I used to take them out of aeroplane tyres for a living, don't forget that twice!). But yeh, far more discreet than a tap hammer.

Depending on the design of the alloy wheel you can just kick the valve stem off.

I did this by accident when a woman squashed me against the curb at some lights- I was flailing around trying to balance when I clipped the valve stem with my toe.

Of course it was an accident!

Revived a week later for that ^

!? :-$

Baffled too, G

A different COTD... going through Chelsea harbour and was met by a lady driving (whilst on the phone - she had a bluetooth headset) a golf straight at me on the wrong side of the road - she was hugging the kerb and gladly looked up at the last moment to swerve over.

She didn't stop, just looked shocked as she swerved.... just when you thought you had almost every scenario accounted for!

blimey, that's really bad, frankly, even if they're handfree, I still think it's not worth talking while driving it still take your attention a bit.

I have a close encounter when a car did a planned left turn without incidating, with me inbetween the car and kerbs going at the same speed.

I would've though the bright beam of my light shorne at his/her mirror is enough to warn them that I'm within the vicinity.
still I managed to avoid it (narrowlingy) by slamming on the brake, as I do that, the crafty tits finally incidated while they're turning!

is it me or is there a shitload of cars out there with a broken rear light/brake light? I've lost count the number of time I spoken to the drivers warning him that their rear light is broken.

I try to shine my helmet mounted exp joystick at drivers as they overtake if they look like they're about to throw a sharp left, but most of the time it seems to disorientate them as they try to work out where the light is coming from - but despite being a bit disorientated, it rarely stops them doing something daft.

But as for todays near miss, but for using an Exposure MaxxD and jostick, I'm sure she would have continued driving straight on.

No. it's not you, Ed.

It's Dancing James...

Why would you do that? What's wrong with a good old fashioned screw driver in the tire? If you've got a knife on you (which I would obviously never suggest you carry) then cut the tire just enough that it can't be repaired.
