Danger Dassie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 This morning during my commute to the office a lady in a blue Toyota Yaris approached from behind and then right alongside me, turned into one of the side roads.She connected my front wheel and luckily with the slow speed of her turning I managed to break in time and stick my leg to keep from going over and possibly under her wheels. What really pissed me off though, is that she saw me, clear as day. And even checked her rear view mirror as she drove off.Consequently I've decided to take it further and report it to Rosebank SAPS as a hit and run, even though theres no damage or injury fortunately, other than my soiled underwear and vulcan deathgrip imprints on my handlebars. Take care out there guys, be safe on the roads and if in Parkhurst area, watch out for a dark blue, yaris driven by a young white female, long dark hair.

JMK1 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Not good mate..As long as you are OK I ride through Parkhurst 3 times a week and all those circles and side roads are dodgy

As well mate, largely have no issues as there plenty side roads, this was on 7th Avenue/Laan. Which is fairly busy but also a steady traffic flow and wide roads.
Edgar Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Danger, Stop riding in to people, you are such a menace on the road. You probably gave the girl the biggest fright of her life. Was she not just staring at your incredible good looks when she was looking in her mirror rather than actually looking if it was safe?
FrancoisC Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 You need a witness?I saw the whole thing!Just give me details of exactly what happened and I'll remember everything clear as day.I work in Rosebank, so its no problem.B**ch!In fact, I think I am going to take a walk down there at lunch time and report seeing a hit and run!
manbearpig Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I call BS. I've checked how you ride. You're way too aggressive. Poor young girl.
Thug Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I'm thinking that with all that time spent at the bike park and the lessons learnt, you tried to manual over her bonnet with not too much success. Glad to hear your OK.
intern Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Hang on I've given this more thought. DD was being a bit too literal when he decided to hit on this chick. Your methods need work my son!!
FrancoisC Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I'm thinking that with all that time spent at the bike park and the lessons learnt, you tried to manual over her bonnet with not too much success. Glad to hear your OK.I feel like such a fool.Didn't realise he was trying to check out her bonnet.He said it was a Yaris and not a Volksie....
Danger Dassie Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Well, Rosebank SAPS left much to be desired, Parkview SAPS though, awesome service Francois, did you seriously see it? ... Kinda wounded that you didn't say hi and at least offer a beer, good grief man But now you okes have rumbled me .... too clever by far!The next person that calls aggressive though, gets a PK, to the back of the neck, from the front!

I actually DIDN'T see it, but if it means getting a stupid irresponsible motorist in a lot of ***, then I will perjure myself and lie in a court of law.Will only cost you a case of Windhoek draught.You sure you wern't riding too close though check out her cleavage?....
Weight Weenie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Maybe she's not very fond of rodents ? Glad ur OK mate ! Did a bit of a commute on a saturday arfie to my uncle here in Snor City the other day, learnt not to ride on the sidewalk. Its for pedestrians and people constantly cut you off when turning left.
