I'm driving along a 50km sign posted surburban street with a verge on the left that has enough room for cars to park. It's slightly downhill and there's a roadie belting along doing about 35km on the left up ahead. A few cars have indicated to make a right turn fifty metres away and this fucking turd on his bike sticks his right arm out and rides straight in front of me forcing me to hit the anchors. He doesn't look over his shoulder once and follows a car in front of me through the corner. What a fuckwit I thought.
I go straight and don't take that intersection, I go through some traffic lights and head south along the highway. It's dual lanes in each direction and has a biiiiiiig median strip in between. Who comes barreling across the median strip and fires onto the left side of the road that doesn't have room for a peanut? Captain fuckwit on his roadie! No shit, he's gone across oncoming traffic and ended up in the same lane as two B doubles. Those guys have to slow down up the hill we're heading to leave room for this prick while all the cars round him up in the right lane. It's not over yet though! We get to the bottom of the hill and roll through the traffic lights and there's a fellow riding on the edge of the lane with panniers and is obviously touring around. He's off the road, closely skirting the kerb and being pretty cautious. Captain fuckwit on the roadie has come down the hill making a bid for a new land speed record and has seen the fellow on the touring bike moving slower so he's about ten feet in front of the truck he passed down the hill and what does he do? He pulls into the middle of the lane forcing the truck to hit the brakes that's getting up to speed coming off the hill.
I had to turn left at the next set of lights (set 7 of 6353242 in the area) and the light is red. This fucking idiot barrels up next to me on the left side and does a fancy track stand with the intention of going straight when the light goes green. My left turn arrow and the main light go green and he attempts to take off in a straight line basically implying that I'm to stop from turning left even though he's in my lane. No way Jose, I cut the fucker off and made sure it was slow enough that he had to stop and put his foot down. I was reaaaaaaaalllllllllly hoping he had the stones to follow me and have some words as he would have made a nice scene in front of my workplace where road fatalities aren't taken as something to ignore but nope, he gets back on and for fucks sake, he pulls in front of the guy on the great tour Australia and knocks him off his bike. Sigh.................
Today's lesson? Of all the road users in that scenario, the roadie was the fly in the ointment but luckily survived this encounter. I hope to see him take some more responsibility......actually, I don't. I don't want to see those situations again and hope the stupid prick learns a lesson that'll deter him from being an arsehole.
