Captain Colonial Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 So out for a fast blat today on a B road in Warwickshire when I came across three cyclists riding slowly abreast with no chance to overtake. Being polite, after 1/4 mile of limping along, instead of honking the horn, I yelled "excuse me" at them. No prizes for guessing their response - I'm guessing they thought I was deaf and could only communicate through sign language, albeit rude language! Eventually, the road opened up and the ten cars behind me and I managed to get past them. One of the cyclists was a woman with the most enormous on a bike seat I have seen in years. I made sure I booted the throttle as I went past so the exhaust could be felt and heard, although I did it safely and put no one in danger. Soon I was at a junction and the cyclists caught up, where the fat madam decided to have a word. "Your car is a menace and illegal - it's too loud! I'm going to report you to the police!" "Go ahead lady, but I'll report you too." "Me? Why?" "You were riding three abreast illegally and causing an obstruction, plus you failed to display the correct sign on your back." "What sign?" "Wide Load - your is big enough to be in two different time zones!" Shocked look followed by me driving off laughing. Quote
