Yet another rant.


TLDR : Two days. And two drivers pushing me off the road only on the start of my commute with some extras in between.So the stupidity on the road the last two days just blew my mind and want to get this off my chest.So Yesterday I left work relatively early as I had some errands to run. As I turned out from the office I got up to speed. Was doing around 70Kph in a 60 so nothinh major, but more or less on pace with traffic. I notice this Land Rover from afar closing in quick, I don't speed up as there is an intersection 500m away with a red light. He continues to tailgate me extremely close.Anyway I brush it off, the next intersection I filter(it's legal here in SA) to the front and here the Land Rover tries to do the same going straight in the turn lane. Anyway I accelerate to the front of the pack like I always do and then the vehicle that was infront at the interesction decides he is nou pissed because we cut infront of him. He speeds up, but can't really pass me as we are now on a corner, he then just pushes me off the road. I blow my horn and rev my bike (Loud Full Akrapovic) he just keeps on coming, I slow down and pass him again he then swears at me and shit, I just said fuck it and rode away. I was still mad AF though, but tried to relax.Fast forward to this morning. The first thing I read already upset me. I have a friend who is a teacher, and one of the kids was on his bike Yesterday and a car hit him, killing him and then just drove away.So after that on our commute only 500m from home turning right into a really tight bend, I am in front with my girlfriend right behind me. This dude cuts in on our right side, not there is only one turn lane, but the road we are turning on is a two lane road, already this tilted me then instead of him just staying on the right with me directly next to him on the left he comes left and pushes me off, again I hoot and rev my bike and he just doesn't care, then procedes to ignore me not even apologizing.If this post upset you, I do apologize I try and not be negative on the road and just do me. I mostly have uneventful commutes with the odd cager merging into you I just back of and go on, but the week just started rough. I know I should expect stuff like this, but like I said the stupidity blew my mind. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/dewv30/yet_another_rant/?utm_source=ifttt
