benjy88 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 So, this morning I had the odd experience of saving some poor young biker from being killed. It's pretty icy this morning as I'm sure you're all aware, and I followed him onto a roundabout, where the moment he tried to turn, the bike went completely out from underneath him and went rolling across the road, as did he... So, being pretty awake after a couple of strong coffees this morning, I elbowed on my hazard lights and yanked the handbrake, as well performing an emergency stop. I came to a halt a couple of inches from him, whilst the lorry that was behind me had to divert off down a different junction to avoid hitting me... (thank **** for that). So anyway, I parked my zed right across both lanes, to make sure no one could try to go round me, or more importantly, run him over lol. Got out the car, picked him up, took him to the edge of the road and sat him down, made sure he was okay (he was, just a little shaken). At which point a woman pulled up in a Discovery, who was a Nurse, and proceeded to make sure he was okay. Unbelievably though, I was then hooted at, shouted at, and 'head-shaken' at, for stopping the bloody traffic. Ended up full on arguing with some old duffer in a Focus. People were literally driving over the roundabout to get past my car, whilst I was clearing up pieces of this poor blokes Kawasaki. My question is this: Where the hell has human decency gone???????????????????????? Fuming. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Good on you mate for acting the way you did and taking the initiative re blocking the carriageway while you helped move the biker, his bike and the debris, a lot of people would have either panicked and done nothing, drove off whilst rubber necking or worse still not anticipated the upcoming hazard and things could of been a lot worse. Nice to see there are still decent people on the roads, hope the biker is ok 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I know what you mean, I see a total disregard for other road users every day, and when you drive 800 miles a week you get a fair share of arseholes!! Rubber neckers are my pet hate. Some blatantly slowing to a stop and there's a gap of 100ft from the car in front, I'm tooting flashing and the idiot is more interested in seeing the crash on the opposing carriageway. Drives me insane!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Throwing out the assumptions seeing your car close to his probably thought you ran him off the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy88 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Throwing out the assumptions seeing your car close to his probably thought you ran him off the bike? Nah, I actually moved moved my car away from him and back towards the traffic and parked it across ways to give him more room. Only a real proper douche would think I'd actually hit him.

pjf1985 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 This is crazy, can't believe people could be so rude and inconsiderate! Well done for doing what you did. If not things could have been a lot worse and the poor guy may have suffered more injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
