I was on my way to uni tonight and came up to the intersection of Ballarat rd and moore st. its a two way right turn. As i approached the intersection i saw a b-double taking up the two lanes so he could make the turn without cutting the corner. The light was red at this point.
I made the decision to come up the inside lane so i could get in front of him before the light turned green. As i approached the front of the truck he started moving inwards to cut me off. At this point i slowed down. I was already pretty much to the front of the truck, so the only way out from here was to keep going and to get in front of him.
Then! as i was passing the cabin, he opened the driver door right in front of me! Luckily, my superman style reaction skills were put in to place and i only just ducked under the door!!
Then he continued to yell out the window to me " hey cunt, hey cunt, next time ill hit ya... fucken this, cunt that" I just looked at him weighing up my options. In the end i decided just to ignore him and get on with it.
I was thinking of getting of the bike and putting some carbon fiber knuckles in between his teeth or punching out his headlights. I wish now that i did, but at the time the bike was sitting in a vulnerable position to get run over by some rubber higher than the bike itself, so i decided not to go ahead with it.
Anyway, im all good, just wish now that i could have put the cock head in his place. Too bad i wasn't on my way to work. I would of had a nice sharp leatherman to carve up his tyres a bit.
