The funny thing is that they can do all that without ever putting down their cellphone.

As much as I want to see this guy strung up by his toes, there's probably more to this than meets the article.

...Daihatsu jeep...
When I see something like that in print, I have a hard time taking the story seriously.
So right off I start wondering if the "mallet" was a mallet or a hammer. Was the motorcycle a moped? Is this just a brand name thing?
Does the author sit on a Davenport while watching the Sony. Does he keep his Borden in his Frigidaire?
Yea, so like TravelingFreakshow said, there's likely more to this poorly written half true story.

Motorcycle drivers or SUV drivers, which are bigger assholes on the road?

SUV drivers are the bigger assholes. I nearly met my end on my bike because of one running the stoplight.

I think the most common example of motorcyclists are those ones that "hop" cars in a no passing zone.

Mr. Wisdom should've opened up a can of enlightenment on his ass.

SUV drivers.
Darwin will sooner or later take care of asshat motorcyclists.

Would you expect anything less from an asshole driving an oversized station wagon?

Pfff, SUV drivers by far. They hardly ever pay attention to what's going on around them, at least in these parts. They have this attitude that if they're currently following the law, well then to hell with wasting their time with situational awareness. If someone gets hurt, well they should have been doing 55 in the fast lane, screw reality.

The only problem I have with motorcyclists are the guys that come from behind you at 100 and then get pissed if you swerved ever so slightly in their lane due to an aborted lane change. Hey, asshole, if you're doing 100 and everyone else is doing 70 don't expect everyone in front of you to be able to react in time. We're paying attention to things in front us, too. You're going TOO farkING FAST jerkoff.

this is an obvious case of homophobia. after all it was two guys riding on the motorcycle.

It was Scotland, maybe that explains it. As Principal Skinner once told us, the Scots are a contentious people.

SUV?

Since this is out of Ol' Blighty, I get the sense that a Daihatsu jeep is a really a jacked-up Mini Cooper with a motorcycle engine.

In any event, the biker should have shot the other guy. Oh wait....

Beatlefreak: TeddyRooseveltsMustache: Would you expect anything less from an asshole driving an oversized station wagon?

I can't say i've ever heard them described that way.

Wait, you're young yet.

GET OFF THE ROAD YOU!

thanks i forgot it was scotland. now that really explains it all.

I call shenanigans. Look how poorly that article is written! There's no coherent or clear chain of events. Looks like crap to me.

Isn't Edinburgh the most dangerous city in Europe?
Lots o' stabbin'.

And someone, somewhere, sometime soon will hail the United Kingdom as far safer than the U.S. because they don't allow guns. Riiiiight.

When the H2 first came out I almost got side swiped by one when the driver "merged" onto the highway I was on by cutting across 3 lanes and forcing me into the median. Yes he was on his phone. If I had a gun, I really think I would have made the news that night.

Another time I was almost hit making a right turn on green, by a man in an SUV who ran a red light to turn left across 4 lanes. When he almost hit me he had the nerve to lay on the horn like it was my fault. We both had our windows down so I told him "I had the green light asshole" and blasted him with an epic middle finger.

Still, nothing is worse than people who ride bicycles on major roadways. That shiat makes me want to punch a baby.

I saw this once, a couple of rednecks in a jacked up pickup playing chicken with a guy on a motorcycle. They stopped at a red light and yelled something at the guy, he responded and as soon as the light turned they swerved and almost ran over the guy. I called 911 as it looked like they were serious about trying to run over the guy. I can't imagine what the cyclist did to irritate them to the point of vehicular homicide.

Having lived in cities where the knuckle-draggers with no mufflers would cruise till all hours of the night...I'm going to have to side with the SUV guy on this one.

Loud pipes don't save lives, it just pisses off the non-motorcyclists who could kill you with a flick of the wrist.

This. I was at the front of the line in the right lane on a 2 * 2 divided road, keeping the clutch in and the bike in gear and watching my mirrors. Turned out that was a good thing, because a yellow Xterra was coming up behind me fast and didn't look to be slowing at all. There was cross traffic so going through the red would almost certainly not end well either. I had about 2 seconds to let out the clutch with a bit of throttle and hop the bike up onto the sidewalk before the Xterra plowed through the intersection at about 45mph while slamming on his brakes and skidding to a halt about 30ft past the whole intersection, miraculously missing a pick up truck by inches in the cross traffic.

I once hit a Vespa off the road in Italy with a Chrystler K car. Does that count?

One of my buddies at work told me a story about his friend who used to ride bikes...

Apparently some nutjob decided to step on the gas when the motorcycle tried to pass and pinned him inbetween his front bumper and the rear bumper of another car... The guy lost his legs. When the cops asked the drive why he did it, his answer was "I don't like bikes"...

Farked up people in this world we live in...

If my car was that loud I would be pulled over on a regular basis with a ticket issued ordering me to fix my car. Why are motorcycles designed to break the law allowed?

George Hanson: You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.

Billy: Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into like, a second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat or somethin'. They're scared, man.

George Hanson: They're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em.

Billy: Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut.

George Hanson: Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom.

Billy: What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about.

George Hanson: Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what's it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.

they aren't allowed. it is just more common than loud cars.

Alright Socrates, I think you've had enough.

VR6Rattles: Loud pipes don't save lives, it just pisses off the non-motorcyclists who could kill you with a flick of the wrist.

Plenty of motorcyclists abhor loud pipes as well. Please don't lump the attention whoring cretins in with the regular everyday motorcycle riders who you don't normally notice because we're not morons.

Can't we just agree that EVERYONE drives like an asshole?

If you have an SUV or anything bigger, you basically drive like you are bigger and better than everything else on the road and act like everyone should just get out of your way.

If you have a tiny shiatbox like a Civic, Mini, etc, you zip around and act like you can speed up and squeeze through anything.

If you have a motorcycle, you act like any spot on the entire road wide enough for you to get through is your own personal lane, and you'll do 120mph through it to prove so.

SUVs are just minivans for insecure guys.

Manivans.

ahh, motorcycle riders...people who don't think the rules apply to them - unless it's convienent.

OK:
Ride double
Ride without a helmet (in helmet law states)
Pass in no passing zones
Weave in and out of traffic doing 100Mph
Ride in between lanes of traffic

NOT OK:
Running their dumb ass over for acting like a jackass on a bike


I think I understand now.

I think the rest of us would be more willing to share the road with you if you stopped being a douchebag and learn to follow the rules.
