I came up on an asshole today, I was going 5 mph over the speed limit, it was a 35 zone, and this dumb az high school kid in an Acura Integra with an exhaust starts tailgating me. So he decides to pass me in a school zone, and there were elementary kids in the crosswalk and he's going 50 through there and almost hit a group of them. As he is in front of me he sticks his left arm out the window and makes a sign like to rev the bike. I think it meant speed up or something. Moving forward, there were no police around to arrest this f-ing azhoel but I know karma is going to get him. I'd say here in San Fran, most are patient with you if your new, but if you seem like a vet, they try to ride your tail all the time. Sometimes I stall on purpose (not always on purpose) just to piss some of them off. I'd give aggressive, people who should have their liscenses revoked a 8 out of 10.

I've busted a guys moth open for INTENTIONALLY trying to hit me in his car.

I've had someone pass me on the right hand shoulder of a main street, cut me off, jump over 2 lanes and get in a left turn lane, for no reason at all.

every time in im traffic im a bit paranoid and nervous of these crazy ass drunk, cell phone talking, not paying attention southern california drivers.

you just have to be careful, and assume they are going to do some stupid as shit.

It gets real diccey at times here. We need to really get a better test because the people out here no what signs means and how to use blikers butthey dont have a clue to those un written rules of the road. They all think they are by themselves out there and it gets a bit annoying. One more thing. A turn signal is like asking permission not a right to just come the f*ck on over. Thats one of those unwritten rules im talking about. Main thing is to just ride with a god head on your shoulders or else it wont be there.
