Default Ever been cut off by a....

motorcycle? Happened to me yesterday morning on way to work. At the merge from the 8 east to 163 south a 883 wanted to come right over into my lane without looking. She had her blinkers on, as I was thinking she was just gonna merge over one lane at a time..but no, she had to try to merge two lanes at once. almost hitting me as I had to veer into the fast lane. Flipped her off and said WTF!! Luckily there was no vehicle next to me. Now the story gets better.I know where she works.she works at the same hospital as me and she parks in the same area. When she finally gets to the parking area...she stops.says."sorry, I did not see you". Wonder what will happen this morning in the parking area?

You was thinking she was just gonna merge over one lane at a time? Thats what you get for thinking lol

Motorcycles have blind spots to, granted she should have turned her head while she still has one.

You already flipped her off and she said she was sorry

Why are you wondering what will happen this am in the parking area?

Couple years ago one buzzed my son while I was teaching him to ride, almost hit him. Papa bear went white light. Caught him at the next light, Got off and pushed him and bike over. He came up swinging and went down hard again. I was very wrong for doing that but sometimes it IS well deserved. Luckily no lawyer visits needed after that one.

I was saying in another post that motorcycle drivers are not immune from being irresponsibile and dangerous aholes.

Just watching motrocycles on the road while driving, it is usually the younger sportbike riders who are the most irresponsibile. That's not to say I never see guys in bandanas riding cruisers acting without concern for others around them. But it happens more with the young riders on sportbikes. It's just usually lack of maturity, IMO, trying to 'prove' something. Like in the video below.
