Windshield wipers
Ok.....I've about had it with these cars that spray windshield washer fluid 20 freakin ft in the air while I'm riding behind, without my helmet on.
Now a couple of times when this has happened I was probably driving a little too agressive...maybe a little too close to the *** of this turd running 45 in a 60 while texting,then speeding up to 70,until the next text comes in and I run all up is *** while he slams on the brakes to answer his text.
So....I've been really working on listening to my engine,the wind,enjoying the cage free rides...morning and afternoon.
I've had it though.
Today, I'm minding my own...relaxing....keeping my one thousand one one thousand two etc....distance.....and I get blasted by this *** in a new Government Motors Malibu. So...I back way the hell off and throw my hands up when Mr *** decides to give me another spray.At which point I realize this guy is doing this on purpose.
So...I blow past his *** and get on down the road......But...I keep thinking I should've spit on his windshield.
*******.

I share your frustration with everything those ignorant cagers do, and the list is long (directionals, speed, lane discipline and all that) but I did something last week that made me think about where bikes fit in traffic.
I was in the left lane of a five lane major downtown street (two lanes each way with a center turn lane) I put on my left directional in prep for turning into the center lane for the on ramp ahead. As I started to change lanes a ten year old Buick blew past my left hand missing me by about a foot. I stopped behind him and then pulled up on his right door and uttered my opinion of his driving technique. And then I kicked his door.
Although nothing developed from this, jousting with a car when you are on a bike is just asking for serious physical damage if the driver decides to retaliate with his 2000 lb hammer.

That is what is known as road hazards down here........... We got all kinds (road hazards that is), so needless to say, just ride accordingly.

Bout 15 years ago I was on a local highway on my VMax, a good ways behind a yokel in an old beat up Chevy truck. He had a BBQ grill in the back....and it was lit, nice smelling smoke trailing out of it. I guess he started the brisket ahead of time for whatever social event he was headed to.
He hit a bump in the road and the whole thing flew out. I had been watching this guy for a while so I'd backed way off, and no one behind me so I stomped on the brakes as red hot charcoal chunks start whizzing by my head, couple bounced off my helmet. Luckily the grill itself slid a lane over and into the ditch.
And that is why I only wear full face helmets now.
