Hmm. Let me start by saying, I've ridden bikes before and it's great fun, but the potentiality to wreck is astounding. It's illegal to lane-split here too, but everyone on two wheels does it, blipping the (usually loudened) throttle at every open window etc. Even when the traffic is already stopped and waiting at the lights... WTF for??

I hate it when you're at the front of the queue, at the traffic lights, waiting for the green. Some dickhead is splitting all the way upto the front line and then pulls across in front of you, waiting for the green, also.

Then he'll adjust his gloves, scratch his butt and jerk around until well after the green has lit, making you wait while everyone else is off and moving, then roars off at WOT. That really *****s me. It's inconsideration at it's best.

Were you wondering how bikers get a bad traffic reputation? Imagine if all of us 911 drivers got out of our cars and kicked people's mirrors off because we were slowed down by Joe Sixpack in his Accord?

Courtesy saves lives: and it's FREE!
