Im normally not angry enough to vent on a public forum but hey this morning its different.

I drive the N1 into Cape Town daily.  Its great to be able to still move along while all the cages are waiting for time to pass.  I drive at my pace.  Often someone faster than me comes along and when I see this light gaining on me I find a spot to move over and let them pass.  Normally they are quite nice about it all, a wave or a hoot to say thanks.

Most bikers do the same.  When I gain on them, they move off and let me pass.

Even more . . . most cage drivers are just wonderfull.  Making that lilttle bit of space to allow me to get pass with the truck or the bus in the adjacent lane.

NOT TODAY.  He sat there on his blue bike with his new jacket and open face helmet.  I gave him time.  NOTHING.  I drive up his arse. NOTHING. I got close enough to make eye contact in his mirrors. NOTHING.

Eventually when tere was space in the lane I overtook and drove off.  Man, was I EVER SO SLIGHTLY anoyed.

With that attitude rather stay in you cage or go on your breakfast runs.  Don't stop the biker traffic because you want to be ahead al all costs.

Now I feel better.

Have a nice day.
