I had a medical up beside ARI in Aberdeen the other day. Had to go over Anderson Drive. Next thing I hear is a revving bike engine and low and behold as an idiot that was driving on the White line between the lanes of traffic on a road going quad bike. Cut up traffic then did a dangerous fast moving turn off to the left in front of a car in the inside lane. Now people like that have no consideration for other road users, but will be the first to complain when the get hit by another road user in an accident caused by there foolishness.

However, I realise that there are very good bike riders on the road, and I for one respect them and always keep any eye open for all bikes on the road.

Maybe add a couple more wheels too.

There's always a percentage of loonies on two and four wheels.

Happily they don't last long but unfortunately they often take innocents with them !!!

[QUOTE=mamasboy;768053]Guy was clearly limping afterwards and you could see it was his pride and joy, it was in very nice condition. She actually works at my place of work and she is known to be an odity to say the least!

I really felt for the guy, his day was properly ruined and she was oblivious to anything except how it inconvenianced her and her car!

She works for the same company as me so I know of her plus the biker got her reg so hopefully for him he will be ok, just makes me wonder about people sometimes, think most of us would have the first instinct to make sure he was ok, after all pieces of machinery are replaceable!

Nicely put.

Respect to other people is disheartening at times.
