Motherfucking 4x4s

Whenever I spot a developing 'incident' I pretty much aim to stop at the very last second putting as much fear into the offender as possible. Must be a hangover from spending too much time behind the wheel of a white van. 3.5 tons of angry metal inches from a door is always a wake up call.
Recently on the bike I had a pickup turn right fairly slowly straight in front of me. I pinged over my shoulder and spotted the way was clear to swing round behind him if need be so carried on at full tilt straight at him. He finally clocked me, panicked and hit his anchors hard which was followed a split second later by a crash as his load of bricks piled into the rear of his cab :)
He got the simple no, no, no head shake. Figured the bricks was enough punishment.

But you're still anticipating the incident to develop in a way you expect and that no other factors are going to come in to play. By far and away the best policy is just distance yourself from the risk the instant you recognise it.
