[Closed] What's the best way to deal with an idiot motorcyclist?

Put one of these^^^ at the end of the road 😉

There's no specific law about doing wheelies but you'll likely find yourself up for dangerous driving if caught doing them
Therefore definitely illegal

Had a similar problem a few years ago with a lad who lived opposite and did pretty much everything possible to piss the neighbours off. My next door neighbour was a very quiet and mild mannered teacher who it transpired was an ex-para captain.

The ragging it up and down the road was sorted by the teacher simply kicking an old kids buggy into the scrotes path one day. It did minimal damage to the car, but shook the little scrote up properly, especially when we insisted that he call the Police, who were then overwhelmed with witnesses wanting to tell how stupidly the scrote had been driving at the time and how lucky it was the child was not in said buggy. Might have more severe consequences to a biker though.

The said scrote followed this up by standing in the street with a "ghetto blaster" on full volume outside our houses. Teacher, walked out asked him to turn it down, to which scrote turned it up, teacher went out and asked again, to which the scrote turned it up, teacher then suggested scrote leave before something bad happened. He didn't, and the ghetto blaster was punted over an adjoining garden fence by the teacher.

Strangely, things started to quiten down not long after that.

google street view?

Looking for somewhere to pop some wheelies, or just planning to go round and nick Dancake's bikes? 😈

For the sake of clarity, I would describe the wheelie as popping the front end up giving it a handful rather than going all the way down the street on one wheel, cannon ball run stylee.

This isn't an anti bike rant BTW. I would love this one - a big loud single somethingorother.

A "slow down" gesture is my mode of attack. If I can make eye contact, he will know he has been clocked

Binners, there's a chance the bike has Marzocchi's on it too! I would imagine the world would end should Bomber ever face Bomber

I guy I used to work with helped with bother at his old mum's flats. Whne scrote came passed he swung a wet mop at his head. Removed him from bike and broke his neck. Ooops...

So video; and send to plod. Don't get involved further; it never ends well.

Is there a handy rock face you could paint a tunnel entrance onto?
Last time I did that a train came out of the tunnel and flattened me.

OK, speaking as a motorcyclist........

Phhhhh. There's always some pillock like this. We have one on our road* who visits his elderly/frail mum regularly. He does himself no favours. 1200 Bandit, open pipe. 30mph sounds like double that. But I know having watched him that he is well over the speed limit. 2 gear changes (so in third gear) up the road and I know he's doing 50+ because I only trickle up and down in second and it's tricky to keep below 30.

We complained and I know the local plod had a word. He certainly slowed down but it still sounds too fast, even to my ears.
-----------------------------
*To be fair, there's more cars causing problems on our road than bikes, but they're quiet, so harder to spot. That's the thing with a lot/most/many bikers, they HAVE TO HAVE a loud pipe to show off (it makes eff all difference in the real world to anything)
If you keep it quiet and keep the silly stuff to yourself, nobody bothers you.

Tried just erecting a scarecrow?

Street art?

Just give him the ****er sign. No one likes that.

Is this a case of I can't so I don't want you to either?

I had a motorcycle to piss on chips daily. Twice daily infact.

This is easy to deal with; the Police will be ready to act as soon as you give them the facts.

The key is the reg and make and colour as well as the times and estimated speed. Ring the local non-emergency number and ask them to take a report of a motorcyclist speeding and driving in a manner that causes alarm; that's two offences already. If there's an access restriction, another offence. His reg will be flagged up on the PNC and next time he's seen by a car equipped with ANPR he will be stopped for a "producer". More than three reports and he will receive a home visit and might even have the bike confiscated.

Speak with your local Beat Officer as well because if it's regular they might be able to get his speed with a hand-held gun. Finally you can also contact your local traffic Police and ask to speak with the senior officer who decides what the few cops on patrol do when they are not drinking coffee and watching Police Camera Action videos. We have done all this in our street, which is blighted by short-cutting speeders and we have dealt successfully with a few habitual speeders.

Much more sedate today..It must be one of you lot 😆

Is this a case of I can't so I don't want you to either?

no its a case of I don't want me and my 4 year old boy to get run over outside our house. This is a QUIET no thru road - it shouldnt have bikes going past at 50+ mph!

I haven't read any of the replies except the OP, if you get the number plate and report it to the police they can give him a S59 (Police Reform Act 2002) warning about his driving in an anti-social/dangerous manner and potentially confiscate his bike. Defiantely worth doing.

Where an officer has reasonable grounds for believing that a motor vehicle is being used in a manner which contravenes Road Traffic Act Section 3 (Careless Driving) OR Section 34 (Driving elsewhere than on a road) AND also the manner of use of the vehicle is causing or has been causing or is likely to cause, alarm distress or annoyance to members of the public, Section 59 can be used to:-

initially give a written warning (valid for twelve months, S59 notice)
and on a subsequent occasion to seize the vehicle. A constable in uniform has the power to order the person driving to stop the vehicle, to seize and remove the vehicle, to enter any premises on which the officer has reasonable grounds for believing the motor vehicle to be and to use reasonable force. Seizure can made only if a warning has been given, or believed to have been given, or if a warning is clearly being ignored.

So, usually it's a two-stage process - a warning or notice first, seizure if you persist or repeat.

THINK BIKE! errr, no how about its time BIKERS THINK... I get totally f##ked off by the way motorcyclists see it as there right to blast around the UK like its a race track. 100+mph on A roads is perfictly normal for a large number of these leatherbound goon's. If anyone was to try and pull that sh#t in a sports car they would be locked up and have the key thrown away. However most of them know the unwritten rules for motorbikes and the way rozzer motorbikers feel etc etc so just go for it. And as for these tw##s who find and extra lane on the motorway between the fast and middle lanes,when you get taken down, you most probably wouldnt have a leg to stand on, in more ways than one. Its 3 lanes for all and sorry my 2 wheeled friend but the traffic jam is for all too. I drive about 50,000miles per year, so id like to think i spend enough time in traffic and on the road to have seen this enough times for it to be accurate.
Track days are for blasting it not roads and lanes, much like leath hill is for cruzing down on an mtb and we all know where blasting down that gets people..............

OP: have you considered asking for your road to be made a 20 zone?

Its 3 lanes for all and he traffic jam is for all.

Sorry, but that's bollocks. Nothing wrong with filtering (safely) on a motorbike (or a bicycle).

Objections are just jealously disguised as concerns for safety.

The residents have already done well to get the street closed; we've been campaigning for 30 years for this and got nowhere. To ask for a 20 mph limit as well would be stretching their luck too far.

You've got to be high up your county's league table of accident-blighted streets to get any funds for traffic calming. Our speeder-blighted street is at the bottom because we've only had one accident in ten years, which makes us victims of our own success in keeping our kids locked indoors. Certain other more, er [i]diverse[/i] districts of Blackburn however have been given the full works because in those districts people don't bother wearing seatbelts, taking out insurance or teaching their kids road safety because it's all in the hands of God anyway so why bother?

Inflammatory subject; random use of CAPS; basic grammatical confusion (eg, there / their); lack of white space; self-censored swearing; rash generalisations; made-up 'facts'; ignorance of actual facts; jealousy; superiority complex perhaps leading to false authority syndrome.

Pretty good, I'd give that a solid 8/10. You lost points for ineffective use of exclamation marks, you might want to keep that in mind for next time. Maybe try and invoke Godwin's Law next time or put a bit more effort into your straw man too? Shows promise though, I look forward to future monologues.

99% hysterical bullshit.
