Default Cut off again!!!!

[sm=hia.gif]Got cuttoff twice yesterday on California 101. First time was 2 women in a Mercedes just chatting away. When they finally heard me they at least looked remorseful.

Second time was some guy in a Mitsubishi. I pulled up to his passenger side after I honked, but he wouldn't look at me. After a quarter mile I just shook my head and moved on.

Other than that it was a great 150 mile ride.

Stupid obliviots. I still say the best way to get them driving better is to remove all the safety stuff added in the last couple decades. When a 50 mph accident can kill the idiot causing them maybe they'll finally pay attention.

Barring that, there should be revocable offenses for cell usage, red-light running, and right-of-way violations. [:@]

That is the main reason I don't ride with my pistol. It would be hard not to shoot some of these morons.

I ahve learned to take it in stride after many years. Yes it succks, but if you are going to ride a bike, it is a fact of life. Get used to it. I have found that going to show them they almost killed me after the fact is useless. Seeking an apology, or a wave saying I'm sorry doesn't cut it in my book...Sorry to hear that happened, but if you live in So Cal, get used to it.

If you got upset everytime that happened, it wouldn't be worth riding.
Just be careful and smile at the idiots.
