What is it with some bikers. Coming to work this morning, 6am on a B road. Some power ranger flyes up the inside left at 50-60mph. Don'tmind telling you what a fright iI got. Its bad enough that they create that artificial 3rd lane that exists only in there mind through the middle of the road, but now up your inside left is now fair game to some. Im not a road hog. If I see a bike behind me, when safe I pull as far over to the left to aid him passing as safely as possible.

If he could do 50-60mph in it then why were you not already in it. Lane hogging?

Cyclists, Car drivers and Bikers. They are not all the same but a minority can be assholes

On a B road 30 limit
So basically, on a B road, you were so far over the lane that he passed you on the left?
Sounds more like you were trying to stop him overtaking normally...

Just to nip in during the first phase where PHers all clammering to scream that you are the idiot and that you must be hiding something and to nip in before both the biker and the non biker extremists appear and send the thread into the downward spiral that it must take, I'd just like to add that nipping between the curb and a car at 50-60 in a 30 sounds like a very tttish thing to do regardless of what their reasoning was.

So was this single carriage way? If so, for a bike to go up your inside, where the fk were you? If multiple lane, why were you lane hogging?

On my side of the road ! Why is it when a biker acts like a tt. The whole biker community automatically thinks "car driver must have been at fault". There was cars coming in other direction, so he chose to fly up the left of me.

Any biker that went up the inside of you at 50-60mph in a 30mph limit is a tt - full stop.

But I'm baffled as to how they'd have room to do so on a 30 limit B road, unless they were a mega-tt!

I think you might be on the verge of elevating the motorcyclist to the point of being unable to do no wrong wink

I think we need a street view link of the location seeing as you are being so vague with the details.

Or the OP is drip-feeding information.

What car were you in?

Then we can all judge your typical driving performance/ amount of directorships/length of goatee based on that as part of the PH judgement criteria.


Difficult to fathom out how he got past you on the left when you were on a two way b road though - can you draw a diagram or provide video evidence to support your claim.

Otherwise I call custard.


(seriously if you have on board video like what I have it would be great to see)
