I have a theory that due to the circumstances in SA that a lot of South Africans are suffering from a form of stress that makes them over aggressive

Everyone is sick of it, including me. The same thread every week on he hub isn't gonna change anything.

It might not change driver behaviour directly, but sometimes it does help “venting” a bit to a community that shares your concerns.

If you do ride a motorbike, I hope you are not one of those azzholes who cut through traffic and think the rules are special for them...........

 

Not sure where you're going with this, other than stirring, but do you think that lane-splitting is illegal?

Legal or not it's frikkin dangerous at anything more than walking speed!

Fair enough.

Trying to squeeze your way through traffic is dangerous and annoying, wait like everybody else

Generally this is what most of these threads are about in any case, most people are just looking to vent, and they do so in a place that is generally sympathetic towards their concerns. . .

Wait. Hold on. You've been to thehub right? 

 

Mostly it seems to be about ripping each other new arseholes here.

Its really only annoying to the motorists, sitting in the traffic they create themselves.  Riding, running or cycling past annoyed people stuck in their own traffic is actually fun...

Is it?

[Eldron]

Is it?

 

From the amount of videos I've seen of lane changing cagers knocking bikers over I''d say so.

Doesn't the same argument then apply to riding your bicycle on a public road?

I did say generally, although that was pretty optimistic to be honest. I sometimes wonder how big this community would be if we didn't scare away half of the people because they dared post a thread about bad service from CWC, or texting whilst driving, or getting offended by a magazine that has a warning on the spine as the first post they attempt.

The attitude towards motorbikes seems the same as those ignoramus car users towards cyclists .

 

Granted some ride at stupid speeds between the cars ,but when you standing still anything moving at 30 kph or more will seem ridiculous.

Yes and no.

 

Bicycles are predictable in that they're always on the left. Motorbikes could be in any lane or between any lane - that ups the risks considerably.
