- Paul - Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Posting on here will rarely achieve anything unfortunately. That being the case, could you persuaded not to do it any more? As it seems to vex you, I somehow doubt it. Not vex, bore. Good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 The fact is there are total idiot drivers and motorcyclists, it's unfair to think of the majority of both groups in a negative manner. Just because someone overtakes does not make them a bad driver or rider, and sitting in a car waiting for someone to pass and then film them to use this as evidence of dangerous riding is ridiculous. A motorcycle can easily overtake in a shorter distance than a car and still be on pretty nuch the same side of the road as the car being overtaken! A car can not do this which I am sure leads to frustration on behalf of some drivers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car can not do this which I am sure leads to frustration on behalf of some drivers! If your overtaking causes the person you have overtaken to have to brake then you are over - taking dangerously. If you are driving along maintaining a safe braking distance from the car ahead, that space isn't for someone to cut in to. You shouldn't have to brake in order to maintain a safe braking distance because someone else is cutting in and out of a line of traffic. But that isn't just bikes. Cars do that on the mountain every morning and evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integer Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 ans - grow up! no u In all seriousness, this is not unlike the majority of bile going on in numerous threads on here at the moment. I sincerely hope people don't take these forums as an accurate representation of the islands population. The majority of people I meet day to day are pleasant and well-mannered, as I imagine most posters here would be if they were to meet face to face and not behind the social shield of a keyboard.

manxb&b Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 SPANNA WROTE- Great idea. What p1sses me off is its obvious to everyone who has to use the mountain road that bikers are playing out their "ooo im a racer" fantasy on the mountain road every sunday. Like others I have had far too many bikers either on the wrong side of the road as I come round the corner or doing that stupid lean over on the white line cornering which seems to me like saying here you go slice my head off with your car please. So my question is where the flying f are the police. Ive once seen a police car at union mills on a sunday. What use is that. They need to have at least 3 stationed up on the mountain road to deter these wannabe racers from "doing a lap". In the last few weeks we have already had 4 drivers get mentally scarred for life with bikers dieing in front of them, I hope the police do something before a driver gets killed by these bikers using our public road as a Nurburgring. What are you spanna, some sort of muppet sub-species? The fact is that bikers don't come anywhere close to causing the amount of death and injury that car drivers do but you're obviously not someone to let the facts get in the way of a good anti-biker rant. What you seem to be however is living proof of why brother and sister shouldn't marry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
