From: Mozzer on 15 Aug 2006 20:25 If i'm near the centre instead of the middle of the lane it's to check it's safe for me to just slip up to the lights and get ahead of all the cagers on their mobiles when the lights change ;) Steve wrote: > > As a motorbike rider i'm going to go ahead and sing the guy some > > praises.

Still, it doesn't matter. Vigilantes are dangerous, however satisfying their actions might be. A vigilante will slash the wrong person's type, or be mistaken about what they saw, or with deadly consequences, or without knowing about the circumstances, and be just as satisfied about their actions as if they were absolutely right, and with no chance of learning that they were mistaken.

How is the speed he chooses to drive at inconveniencing you? OTOH, your incorrect use of lanes IS inconveniencing him. Seems to me that yours is the greater offence. Not, of course, that that excuses him playing pushy-shovey.
