Quite, I always leave a relatively large " safety zone" between me and the car in front, which helps to improve brake pad and disc wear etc., but, it can lead to a moron behind you assuming its a gap from him/here to nip into !!
This happened once on the bike as well, 2 up so a longer than normal safety zone, only for a moron in a vw golf to nip into and cut us up or hit head on the car that had come around the corner that I had seen thru the gap between the fence/bank and the car in front of us.
He raised his left arm as if to say sorry.
A few miles later we came across him at some traffic lights, I came along side on the n/s and looked who was in the passenger seat, his kid. The window came down and the driver said "if you have a problem with my driving lets go to a police station ! ", "the one over there ? " I said.
So I did and he followed. His reg number was quoted on the cop shop answerphone so he was buggered.
Turns out he meant the cop shop some 3 miles away where he was stationed !!!
He said he was a biker !!!?
It took the sargeant to make him apologise, advanced drivers eh!
Had it been a choice between a head on and taking 2 bikers out, what do you think would have been his reaction ??
Probably take the bikers out and drive off!
