I guess some people are just born special. I hate tailgaters especially when its wet.

Nice capture on film.

Thanks - I'm taking a lot of flak from another forum for this one who say it's all MY fault?!

It seems everyone there is suggesting what I SHOULD have done was:

1. Took an even later exit, crossing the hash marks and cutting up anything in the legal, proper and correct left exit lane. (note that if I posted a video of me doing this I'd have been 'riding like a cnt' )

2. Stopped dead in the legal and correctly marked left exit lane to allow someone (who was behind me?!?!) to cut across the hash markings in front of me.

3. Followed the left exit lane dead in the centre all the way around. (sub points on this one: i) This is about a 500m crawl from my work, so cold tyres. It has been thundering most of the day and flooding roads, and in the time the floodwater has drained out on a major bus route, this island is NOTORIOUSLY slippery - other diesel crash videos are available from bikers, and ii) if I HAD been in the middle of that lane, where the fuck do you think the BMW doing 20mph faster would have been? Yes - he'd have hit me smack in the middle, you clever ladies. )

4. Never, ever EVER ride to the side of your lane. Ever. Else a car will hit you and you deserve it fully. No exeptions.

5. Not react in the slightest to a car hitting you. Even if you then let it go straight away and take the higher ground.

:shock:

I'm not sure why I'm having to defend myself against other bikers?!? :?

This is just my perspective. I watched the video and it seemed to me that it was your fault. Then I looked at the picture you posted and it clearly wasn't you're fault. It's hard to see how the lanes are laid out in the video but in the picture it's very clear.

You would think video would be a good way to show what happened but lots of times what the camera shows can be deceptive. I think if you had included that picture in the video you wouldn't have people thinking it's your fault. Clearly he had to cut in from the far right and clearly he was at fault. You should have taken off a mirror and put your fist through his window.

I totally agree - and believe, me, if I think what I did was wrong I'd admit to that. I do also post vids of me making mistakes...

I'm going to reap a few views from this vid, then post another including the picture in a few days time. Might as well make the most of the views while I can!

It'll be interesting if I come up alongside that BMW in traffic...
