Look at it this way, if a dog jumps out in front of your car what would you do? As much as my love for animals tells me to avoid it at all costs, I think I would only avoid it as much as I could before damaging my car, and if the dog is still in the way then too bad - because i'm not going to risk driving up a curb, possibly hitting a padestrian, and possibly doing a flip stunt. So motorcyclist is the same thing, and I have definately less love for these a**holes than I do for animals. I nearly hit a kitten on the LDP but at the time I honestly only gave it as much as I could spare, and my side mirror was nearly skimming the barrier... The kitten made it over the center divider, but i don't know if it only jumped over to get to the pearly gates anyway.
One thing that I really can't stand is when you get the green light to turn and when youare already well on your way to turning a motorcyclist decides to jump the red light and speed right past in front of your car. WTF. If they want to jump the light, do so BEFORE i'm turning, or better yet - DON'T DO IT. Why do they have to do it WHILE i'm turning? I have nearly run over 4 motorcylcists at the Bangsar Shopping Centre traffic light because of this, and i've stopped slowing down for them now - I just floor it.
The best thing i've ever seen done was a similar situation as above, at the Bangsar Telawi traffic lights. A Wira hit a motorcyclist who ran the red light and the dude driving the Wira grabbed the MC and made him sit on the sidewalk, and then the Wira dude hijacked the motorcycle and drove it to the police pondok to file a report. The wife or girlfriend of the dude driving the Wira stood guard and made sure the MC didn't run away. Good stuff!
