[QUOTE="Apache, post: 72702, member: 828"] JL - it's got to be a 2 way thing. I am a member of the IAM - I consider myself a good observant driver. I also note that most bikers drive well. The problem are the idiots! I appreciate that it's only a small percentage who are idiots (and I'm not accusing anyone)! They overtake when it's not safe, weave in and out of stationary and slow moving traffic, think a solid white line doesn't apply to them. And wear dark coloured clothes. Where I live bikers come to have a play on the pretty winding country lanes. In the last year I can think of a few 'near misses' with bikes. One was on my side of the road (going in opposite direction) if I hadn't put 2 wheels on the verge I'd have hit him. Another I was pulling out of a junction and a car was a safe distance away - biker decided to overtake car whilst I was pulling out - despite the car doing 30mph in a 30mph limit! Make yourselves more visible and drive with more consideration. If you want to push your bike go to a track! [/QUOTE]
