I think his making this crap up to cover his *** but i would definately slam on my brakes and come to a complete stop if my car stalled rather then keep traveling at whatever speed he was traveling at while trying to restart the car.

Cars are bigger than bikes. It's as simple as that. If you are on a bike you are the one most likely to be hurt in the event of an accident. People on bikes need to be careful and aware of what is happening around them.

Trucks are bigger than cars. The same rules apply.

What if the tables were turned. One of the bike riders had fallen off suddenly and a car following too closely had run them over? The driver would be considered at fault? The driver would most likely be charged with careless driving resulting in death.

Seems like motorists are always to blame and road rage is the latest buzz word.

Have these people been informed that exercise bikes are available from any good sports store? You do not need to endanger your life to ride a bike these days.

On the news they showed the car as an EF or EL couldnt quite tell which, but it was not a new Falcon

Update from smh: the driver has being charged by police with failure to stop at the scene of an accident and the article said the police are still interviewing witness pending further chargers.

Why did this thread turn into the cyclist accident??

I think everyone is in a hurry these days and that is what is sending everyone troppo for the stupidest reasons. Just glad the guy in the porsche didn't catch up to ya. You see and hear these types of accidents with someone been beaten to death, stabbed or shot. In my accident thats the first thing I thought of. It's getting to be a crazy and sorta scary world for driving .

Default Anyways, then I saw the door of the Porsche open and a fairly stocky mafia looking as

i am THE porsche man....

you poor inexperienced STUP.D young man showing off your poor and dangerous chasing up to me efforts. take your chips off your shoulders too !! and go train to drive better than you did.

the main point everyone now has to know is that XR6_661 is a HUGE (HUGE) Liar (LIAR) !!!

what a fantastic falsified story you have put up. the ONLY true bit is i brake tested the silly idiot when he kept tailgaiting me. all he had to do after oggling my car at such real close quarters; is pull right back, overtake and get out my sight. i am too busy to get involved with dumb 'racer' guys like you.

Get some glasses so you can oggle the car a little FURTHER BACK! Do this for ANY OTHER car you may do this oggling to.

i NEVER GOT OUT OF MY CAR. YOU BIG BIG BIG LIAR ++++, but i could see you dirtied your pants badly when i brake tested you. This can only happen with such good effect because you WERE much much too near.
..and if i had got out, you would then know that i am not stocky, and might even be taller than you.

what imagination, but then you can tell a story and a half!

so lets call the police... i have an independent witness to spell out the TRUTH that will belittle you amongst these people you have tried to con. shall we ?

BTW, your driving was pretty bad that morning (up to infringement standards), cutting up those poor mums and dads, racing to get close up to me. we will see what the police say about that then!

please display your 'p' plates that you are supposed to; GROW UP before 10 years time, STOP LYING, STOP LYING, STOP LYING, and stay out of my way.

I must admit, I hate it when people tailgate but I certainly don't brake test them.

I do like thread padlocks though.

Welcome to the forum Porsche man, it sheds some light hearing the other side of the story.
You have given your account which is fine, however the thread will go downhill from here.
The thread is now locked and i would prefer you take up the argument via pm and keep it civil.

Bah

Another stooge being an internet hero, the caliber of this post indicates to me that there is a slim chance you are whom you claim to be, however if so, it certainly enforces the childish behavior of the post that started it all.

To the thread starter, I have no doubt there is more to the story your letting on as well.
