If someone gives you the finger what does it make you feel? Do you think 'Wow, I've been a real cunt, I'd better not do that (whatever it was) again'. Or, do you think 'That guy was a cock, I want to gut his dog'?
Stay calm, polite and do not antagonise them. If anything, give them a quick wave as you go past and maybe, just maybe they will move out of the next bikers way instead of trying even harder to block them/run them off the road. ____________________ BCF: Be yourself, just don't be an arse. |

Find that more often than not drivers will move over to let me through. I usually wave and thank them. Does help that I have a GSXR600 and always ride with the headlights on. ____________________ GSXR600K4 Blue - fastest colour. No mods as yet. Happy with standard bike.

Someone tried this with me not so long ago, so I stopped next to him and tapped on his window. It surprised the crap out of him, as did the polite way I asked why he was trying to kill a motorcyclist and pointed out that in fact it would have been just as easy (and safer) for him to move to the left and left me through. ____________________ I spend all my money on bikes and beer, the rest I simply waste! |

It happens both ways, i have had many truck and car drivers move right over to let me through. If filtering a lot i will flash my passing light a few times to let the drivers in front know i am there (seems to work well). ____________________ Current: 2019 Yamaha T7 -> 2015 KTM Superduke R | 2000 Yamaha R1 Past -> 2009 KTM 990 SM -> 2005 kawasaki ZX10r -> 2000 Honda CBR 600 FY -> 2002 Honda XLV 125 Varadero

Dont really have a problem here, as there is a few bikes around.
In some cases, ive been driving down a road following a car, and thev'e pulled in and indactated to let me past, i move past and give a thumbs up.
I guess is different from place to place.
