son of guns turn left in front of me within 2 car lengths as we passed each other & then cut back; had to lock her down.(two cruisers following each other)
Thank god he cut back, should have seen his eyes they were big as saucers, my ******* was puckered. no lights or turn signals. you expect this from regular cages, but cops. go figure.
Well that was my first left to center encounter, just didn't think it would be the law that did it. goes to show what you guys have been talking about (trust no one).
Glad I get to ride another day !!!!!!!

Words of advice- Don't post this here- every other a-hole will tell you you should have known- car vs. bike you never win- they've been riding 35 years and this never happens to them -tell you your grammar was incorrect or was too hard to follow- blah blah blah.
People suck.
People suck.
By the way CJinNH...glad your after work ride turned out ok for you. Hope the weather has warmed enough for you to get in some ride time.Be safe!!

Had a local pull a quick u in front of me to chase down a speeder two weeks ago. I was on a four lane paint striped hwy. The bad thing is that I seen him coming towards us and her coming up behind me in my mirror at what had to be above posted speed limit. Said to myself as it developed----self this is going to get interesting. Sure enough he flips his u-- ends up in front of me while I am braking with both brakes which I had already covered. Waits till he gets behind them to light them up. Seemed like a lot of bs for a speeding ticket---but revenue is revenue. Hope he shoots better then he drives.

Yep. I came up beside a cop who was texting while driving, just like a 16 yr.old girl.

Put on your high beams when riding during daylight hours.I started doing it many years ago and havent had a cage make a left coming at me since.40 yrs riding in NYC,the rude driving capital of the world,in my experience.It really increases your visibility to others.It helps to kind of do a little side to side as you approach intersections.The extra movement makes you more visible.
