White Van Man!
Discussion
Following a white Transit van today, when the passenger threw a lit cigarette out the window, fortunately the "ciggy" missed me (bike).
Normally I would not bother to mention this as it happens all the time (what do you expect from a white van anyway!).
This however was not an anonymous white van, as many are, but it had the company's name on the side, maybe you've heard of them - the name was POLICE.
What chance have we got with muppets like this on the force?

Sorry mate, no offence intended to white van drivers, I was just using a stereotype to make a point (although every offence intended to the tw*t involved).
BTW I would have stopped them and "had a word" but thought better of it as the bike has "loud" pipes & small plate and I had a dark visor - so probably would have been shafted.
Ho-hum

No offence taken cazzo 
, i know what you mean though a vast majority of white van drivers dont come with much grey matter upstairs , the ammount of times ive had a prat in a sprinter right up the arse of the astra are those things tuned up by AMG ?
I agree with you about the can visor etc but they are there for saftey , have you ridden in winter in low sunlight? and the race can makes your presence known to non thinking numpties in their tin boxs
im not commenting on your small plate as they are illeagal

The turbo diesel sprinters can be tweaked using software. A mate of mine had one tweaked by a German tuning company called Digitec, it chucked out 200bhp. It used to be bloody hilarious at traffic lights and exiting roundabouts and accellerating away from muppets in rep mobiles trying to overtake in the outer lane.

Don't get me started on white van men. I've just got back from Heathrow - one cut me up big time on a big roundabout with staged lights, so I sounded my horn at him and went round the outside. Moron.
Except he then proceeded to follow me through Langley, whacking his brakes on and then seeing if he could avoid bouncing off the back of my Volvo - to within 1/2 inch of my rear bumper.
Am now frothing at the mouth. I do get annoyed when this kind of thing happens...

white van drivers as a group are high up on my list of anti social groupings, along with;
dog owners who stand and watch their dogs sh*t on pavements, football pitches, peoples lawns etc
cigarette smokers who sit in restuarants holding the fag away from them but near another table who aren't smoking, taking about 3 drags in total but clinging on to it like some
ing comfort blanket
t*ssers with wwwwwhhhhhooooossssshhhhhh dump valves that are supposed to make their car sound a) like it has a turbo b) faster
"Travellers" = thieving pikeys

Funny this should come up today. I was driving down the A4 yesterday and a white transit decided I (in my Porsche) had pulled out in front of him and I shouldn't have.
This was at a small mini-roundabout in a 30mph. So I drive at 30mph and find (some seconds later) that the white van is 2inches off the rear of the car. There's a traffic island in the way and so he can't actually overtake.
Then we're at the end of the 30mph and I accelerate briskly away....
OK I floored it.
Took him 15 minutes to catch me up at traffic.
So then..even through overtaking was impossible he's still 2inches off the reat of the car. Where he remains until I turn off...
I suppose I'd threatened his manhood or something. Twit. I hadn't held him up at all. I hadn't pulled out and made him brake. He just didn't like a Porsche being in front. Grrrr.

This was exactly the attitude that annoyed me so much. What's it for?? All it does is stress people out - and it's not as if anyone is being held up or endangered. It's pure bloodymindedness - "you have a nice car, I'm driving a shed of a van and so I'm going to ruin your day".
These people shouldn't be allowed to breed. Am I advocating castration? You bet!!
I drive a Sprinter and have to say most drivers I come across are completly ignorant to my needs on the road, safe breaking distances, pulling out on me cos I must be slow etc. I drive within the law and safley however there are complete t@ssers out there. I think the hire mob's the worst.

I think you've got something there. The hire vans are definitely the worst, by a long way. Could this be because they're not driven by "real" van drivers (i.e. people with jobs to lose), d'you reckon? Just curious.
White Van Man??? what about everyone else??
I ride a bicycle into work nearly every week, (sorry doc...) and the number of other motorists that decide, er, no. Cant decide my speed and think its ok to pull out and risk my life...
arrggghhhh
Wa***ers, whats the f**ck**g rush? it's early morning and we are all blearly eyed *u*c*s. I'm just glad to get to work alive, let alone to push "two sugars" on the coffee machine.
Does anyone else think that impatience should be given the same status as arrogance? Where is the humanity in using public roads these days? everyone has a right to use them, whether they are on 2 or 4 wheels. Lets give each other a s**t load of respect...
Peace Out
