That's illegal - how did you manage to get away with that

 

Not stopped by the fuzz once over a 2 year period not that noticeable tbh unless you look real hard.

TX.

 

No. If they can identify you, you would be subject to a fine...but no points, LOL.ER: I would NOT put it past some mags to attach points to your driving license should you have one.

Plus it would have to go to court, so costs plus the "victim surcharge"

 

I was knocked off a few times with cars pulling out in front of me! I still have the pains in my joints because of those .... so, don't even suggest that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Of course, I then learned to turn my headlight on - but NOT on full beam ... just a ******** does that!!

The amount of time a motorbike has blinded me with their beam is countless - they are selfish gits!! They are so stupid they don't know that blinding the oncoming car may well result in that car hitting them! Thick idiots!

I'm tempted next time to put my full beam on to show them that it's not a sensible thing to do - it should be made illegal ....... yes, drive with dipped beam - but High Beam should result in a £1000 fine and a 12 month ban IMO.

 

Biggest load of misguided ***** I've read for ages.

I ride all year. Yesterday, for my journey in, over 30 miles, which was in the dark and rain, filthy weather but otherwise clear 21 cars had their front foglights on despite it not being foggy. Also one HGV had his on and one coach even had the rear fogs on, a so called professional driver.

At the same time, 11 cars had a head light out and two didn't have any lights on at all despite it being dark.

I encountered one other biker on that journey (and non today but I didn't bother keeping a tally this morning) so to claim you are continually blinded by bikes is just twaddle. Stop shoveling this stuff.

 

The original fore and aft facing front number plate was very dangerous to pedestrians, it is that simple.

As a biker for a very long time, I really enjoy a good blast on a nice day as well as getting a lot of pleasure out of riding my fifty four year old Norton Dominator 99 which looks as new. I also enjoy a more exciting ride on my thirty four year old Suzuki GS1000 which is pretty pokey with good handling and outstanding braking to go with it.

I don't find it necessary to ride like a maniac and upset others to enjoy my riding but I am very suspicious of cars waiting to pull out of a side turning!

fivetide: I'm afraid I'm with Pete on this: motorbikers seem to think that main beam is it....and it's NOT.

 

I am afraid you are wrong, I find a very high number of bikers using full beam. I personally avoid that though.

Les

 

Its because the majority of them are w@nkers and get away with murder.

What makes you say this? You seem very bitter...................

 

Who are you actually talking about, and please explain why anyway!

Les

 

The same could be be said for BMW M3 drivers Steve!

 

He's probably sick of being left for dead by them when he tries to race them.

 

How very perspicacious of you!
