I came close to killing someone in the same way on my old motorbike, he took a wheel n guard to the nuts.
dooring is a serious matter, my mates dad got done on his c90 and face smashed the window, he wasn't happy to say the least.
I find drivers to be the worst for it, it used to be the kids getting out the back but not anymore. I've lost count of how many nearlys I've had, especially if there's a restaurant in the vicinity.
anyhow seeing as this is the shouty thread, idiot woman driver last night, I'm riding to see the kid and coming upto the lights, a tjunction on a hill with odd timing, the road narrows significantly before becoming a left filter/straight on. anyway I'm mashing up the hill at 20mph, lights are on red and I'm moving out to go straight on when idiot woman catches up with me, goes wide into the already moving on coming traffic then swings back infront of me and into the left filter, which is on red . wac, I was already over the hill before she got moving, she could of just rolled off as it took me all of 5 seconds to get past where she wanted, there really are some fuckwits about.
