Road Law - Being accountable

[Gordonhooker]

I damn near had a SMIDSY on Saturday with a bloke staring right at bright orange 3 wheeler with a couple of square metres of bright orange canopy at just below driver eye height as he pulled left out of the side street in front of me. I dunno if he was oblivious or entitled but years of two wheeling experience meant I realised in time and got out of the way. These 4 wheeled killing machines should be registered I say, and the operators should have to pass a road rules test or something, stop them doing that sort of thing!

Zebee..that's probably because thay are looking for "vehicles larger than me", and also possibly have never ridden a bike, pedal or motor. it's not in their nature

I agree, get steel box motor operators tested et.al.,

I don't generally have the SMIDSY problem, like you, I've had a good 40+ yrs commuting on motorcycles in Sydney traffic.... ( eyes wide open, & brain engaged on the 3 to 4 cars in front, those either side AND the one behind )

then again, there is the "3m long, 1m high, 1m wide bright green Jellybean" factor

That is how I have managed to survive riding motorcycles for over 52 years... now my motorcycle days are over I treat bicycle riding the same way...

Report for the original post received… I think the intention of the original poster is noted…. Maybe the backstory is some frustration and it is an opportunity to vent…

No harm done, but whether you are driving a truck, bus, van, car, train or riding a bike or walking… it is good to be mindful and courteous.

I think a bait was thrown and all here responded thoughtfully without attacking the OP.
Shows what a mature, responsible lot we have here

As I said earlier - don't feed the trolls
