I HAVE been driving for 24 years and began riding motorbikes 18 months ago.
As much as I enjoy the freedom of the bike, the declining driving standards and total lack of understanding of the roads by other road users is seriously making me reconsider whether or not I want to continue riding.
Some idiot recently reversed out of a side road causing me to take action and then he had the nerve to follow me and rant at me that he had the right of way and I should have stopped.
Since when has someone emerging out of a side road, forwards or backwards, had the right of way?
I would have thought the give way lines gave this away.
The same idiot then proceeded to let four dogs out of his car all off their leads to run loose over the road.
I can’t believe some people can be this unclear on the Highway Code. If you see such a car anywhere be prepared.
Anything could happen.
