Aye, is it me or are there more than ever on the road? And somebody please run off the road the jester that is going around with his fogs permanently on because his left headlight's busted

People driving with full beam on, fog lights on, no indication, using left lane on roundabouts and then take the third exit, not apologising for mistakes and people going up 1 way streets the wrong way. Rant over.

And thats just the taxi drivers

and what about the drivers who insist on approaching a roundabout in the outside lane then driving 450 degrees around the roundabout simply to turn left and in doing so unnecessarily hold up all the other traffic coming from every other direction.

One of my favourite techniques to beat the traffic in the lane turning left. Works every time.

Bridge of Dee, Green Rangie, that'll be me, all the way round then round a bit more, then push in before the pedestrian crossing (I'll always make room for bikes tho)

My wife was stopped in the car once because one of her dipped beam headlights had popped. The police asked her to put her fog lights on to ger her home as it would be mored dangerouse to drive the car with just one headlight visible.

Clearly a male/female thing then

I like to think of myself as being a considerate rider/drive and that doesn't mean I have to suffer bad drivers lightly.

I must admit people using the wrong lane at a roundabout does my nut in. every morning and evening I see the same car doing it at the tesco westhill roundabout. I wouldn't be impressed if they cut in front of me on the bike. When I still had the gaylander I was tempted many times to make sure I was in the way when they tried to cut me off.

I realise that people on here will look out for bikes, but not everyone does.

Is there a badge to display on the cage to let bikers know I'm one of them? So they know I'm looking out for them?

We're certainly different, there's no doubt about that. Ask a woman what the worst job in the world is and she'd likely say 'hooker'. Ask a man what he'd do for a living if he was a woman and guess what he might say.

As for being considerate. Good on you. Without your kind, the inconsiderate would have a much harder time.

BTW. According to Darwin, it wasn't the considerate that will survive.
