    Then again, it might cause said idiot to not let anyone get past again, ever, up to and including swapping paint over it with the next unfortunate sod who's just trying to get to the other end alive...

    Some cagers are jealous little counterproductive suckers allright, but when you start kicking mirrors off then the biggest asshole is not the one in the car.

    That's a fight that you just can't win.

    Yeah that's what they all say, and yet people wonder where all those cagers with an axe to grind come from...

    Fookin hard as it can be (), I always try to get the hell away from those kinds of idiots, confrontations are just stupid...

    Not necessarily.

    You're just not going to intimidate anyone, he may be ****ting his pants while it's happening but time heals all wounds and before the day is over he'll be in the pub wearing a new set of pants and telling his mates a slightly different story about some asshole biker who's done him wrong and going rah rah rah the next one'll bloody pay.

    "We" bikers don't exactly have an image that's helping us any. Funny how that happens. While it can be nice to act all saturday afternoon stick-on tattoo tough about it afterwards , it's really just a losing game that makes things worse.

    Passive behaviour will only get you so far RC There are times when motoring bullies need to be told. That said, I do agree once you stoop to their level the battle is lost. I 'try' to instruct from the moral high ground and shame them. Though I must confess to thumping a wing mirror off a clio after getting cut up, then getting the cold shoulder/look straight ahead he'll go away routine when I wanted to chat about the incident Well we're all only human
