Yeah, I must say, there's this one freeway onramp on the way to work which is very tempting to late-brake/sharp-turn-in/throttle-down when there's a VL on the rear fender.....
Lots of run-off, perfect visibility, but very tricky to get exactly right. VL boy has less chance, though, being on chopped springs, hitting bump-stops and with rock-hard rear tyres from doing burnouts.
However, I can't help but feel like a prat when I realise that some moron just goaded me into modifying my driving style simply by sitting on my arse.
Far better to go slower and slower as they get closer and closer.
It's so easy to lipread the impotent dummy-spit profanity when he's 1cm from your rear bumper!
