DieselnDust Posted September 16, 2019 Share We tow 1.5 ton ski boats, they are properly braked and the fortuner takes no longer to stop with or without trailer. What does take longer is accelerating, therefore we hardly ever overtake anything and if we do its normally that dual lane vibe. I also know that the boat sticks out an extra 5cm either side of the car. There is no excuse for poor road positioning with a trailer. If a cyclist randomly pulls out as you are overtaking, it should not be an issue as you are 1.5m away from the cyclist in the first place. Sometimes as the cyclist you have to position yourself in the road so that the dumb motorist does not have a choice but to apply their mind when approaching a blind rise/corner. Most drivers think there is no problem overtaking a line of single file cyclists with a blind rise through places like Kalk Bay or Camps Bay. If the cyclist felt you swerved at them, you probably did, so if I was the cyclists I would lay a charge of attempted murder with a motor vehicle. You admit to driving a Fortjuna....nee man Long Wheel Base, Patchelicious, BigDL and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted September 16, 2019 Share Apparently the cyclist has been tracked down via Strava!Great now the aggression, victim blaming and holier than thou sanctimonious twats can all stop speculating and see what happens. This thread was started to identify the cyclist, not for people to end up debating if a Fortuner is a better towing vehicle than an Everest. Trust me, don’t get into a Toyota vs Ford debate. Two bakkie drivers going at it is like watching Trump debate himself in the mirror.

stefmeister Posted September 16, 2019 Share The heck? You literally quote the part that implies blame on motorist. To copy what you said, "had to swerve to miss the rider in front of us who overtook the other riders and came in front of us".1. The riders were in front of the motorist2. The motorist didn't leave a safe passing distance because "they had to swerve"3. The motorist was driving recklessly due to the implied passing distance in question. Do you also blame victims for getting raped? Children being beaten to death because the parents have anger issues? You also blame the cyclists for being in the road when a car plows into a 1 or even a group of 10 of them right, like how dare they legally use the roads?? You totally seem to defend that stereotype. "I'm sorry mister occifer, I killed these people because I was driving too fast with the load I'm pulling and didn't take the necessary precautions because, you know, braking with a trailer slows me down and I'd rather kill someone than slow down" There's obviously missing facts here, but you need to wake up if you think driving a car in a way that requires sudden swerving when next to unpredictable obstacles is safe practice. I honestly hope you don't have a motorvehicle license because you sound like a danger on the roads and your perception on safe driving is going to be the direct cause of innocent people getting killed. Wow dude, comparing a potential accident to rape and and child abuse. Don't forget the Nazi-Hitler comparison while you're up there on your high horse.

Don't forget the Nazi-Hitler comparison while you're up there on your high horse.Godwin called, he wants his wooden mic back. Yes, potentially getting killed is completely on par with rape and child abuse in my eyes - these crimes are despicable and damning. By your reasoning, you'd be upset with having your daughter raped or beaten but if she gets killed its okay. I'm not getting drawn into these stupid ******* arguments. It's just speculation and assumptions without the facts. Enjoy your outrage!You don't come across as calm and collected as you must think you are?
