3 Idiots.

Wheel Nut:
That says more about you as a driver than the way the bikers were riding. The shiny glass things on stalks are mirrors, or do you have your curtains covering them?

At least you admitted you didnt look for them and hadnt seen them.

Wheel Nut the Mr Perfect of Trucknet :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

Yeah I too regularly drive expecting Motorbikes to pass in between me and the vehicle I’m overtaking :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

Marvellous how you can ask about shiny glass things and yet forget that on a dual carriageway there is only 2 lanes, if your passing a vehicle you DO NOT sit staring at the Mirrors until you have passed FFS Let alone expect an idiot to pass in between whilst your overtaking.

I think you need to start acting like a Driver instead of Pretending to be one, I think I’d be more concerned about having the β€œWheelnuts” of the Road passing me instead of Motor Bikers, if your going to be looking in your mirror all the way past another truck OBLIVIOUS to whats going on in front of you.

The Bikers passed in between two vehicles which makes them the Morons NOT the drivers of the vehicles.

How many times has a Motorbike appeared from nowhere simply because they have managed to keep directly behind you out of sight until they come past, hhhhmmm may be thats the Drivers Fault as well for not using his 6th sense?

DD. I dont pretend to be perfect, I admit to being infallible in a lot of ways, but read the postagain, the first time bowserman seemed to be aware of the bikers was as they passed his cab.

Is it so hard and does it take long to glance in a mirror as you are overtaking,

I am pleased you understood that Dual means 2 lanes and the 2 trucks were both doing 50mph

gnasty gnome:
Well I’m one of the 50 plus per cent that chris mentions

Ditto

I was always of the opinion that it’s HGV not ESP :laughing:

And just cos i’m in a crappy / picky mood,

Wheel Nut:

The objective of an overtaking manouver is to facilitate a faster vehicle passing a slower one. Point of both vehicles doing 50mph is therefore null and void / rejected / thrown out / dismissed / abandoned. :laughing: :laughing:

(Bowser did state he was on a hill passing a slower truck)

And as we ALL know, 1st glance in a mirror shows nothing unusual - second glance at the correct interval - which I think is 7 seconds (ROGβ– β– ?) - would show nothing again as the bikes would have already been through the gap and gone.

So using mirrors correctly in the case of fast bikes, isn’t necessarily going to be sufficient in all cases.

Rant of the day over - May I go lie down now?? :laughing:
