Why do people feel the need to tailgate riders, especially with L plates on.
I hate to be stereotypical but it is mostly Audi drivers I’ve experienced this with.
I got beeped at 0.1 seconds after a light had turned green on a roundabout… after that I was followed for a good 10 miles, with this bumhole of an Audi driver practically a pillion behind me. He spent a brief period swerving and flashing at me before just following me stupidly close.
In hindsight I could’ve pulled over to let him by but in those sort of stressful situations it’s not always the first thought. Especially as I’m not as experienced as most.
I’m also on a 125 so I can only speed up so much to gain distance between me and this car.
Really puts me off getting behind my bike sometimes when people drive like absolute knobs.
