I wonder why they never get ticketed for these maneuvers?
What do you expect from letting bunch of immigrants coming here. The incident happens in Brampton, the worst drivers of the country live there.
So here's what happened. I was stopped at a set of lights at mcmurchy and charolais in brampton. Had my foot on the brake when next thing I know I'm going forward and the bike is falling on me. I saw her coming up behind me but it looked like she was stopping so as I'm lying there with the bike on me she backs up and makes a right and heads towards steeles. I get the bike back up and get her started after a few attempts and chase after this bi*^h. I saw her make her turn on steeles but don't know where she went from there. By the time I got back to where I got hit to see if anyone stayed there was no one there. All I could tell the police was it was like a 2000 grey Honda civic 4 door don't know the plate. With a mid 30's Indian lady driving. That's all I can remember. Not sure if I'm going through insurance or not. Will this hurt my rates at all? Will try and post some pics soon. Ride safe all glad it wasn't any worse.

Didn't want this to turn into a race thing. Just wanted to share that's all. Doesn't matter where you are from. If you hit someone do the right thing and stop. After work tonight I'm going to go around my area and see if I can find the car. If I do I'll knock on the door cause I will never forget that face.
Got into a fight on a completely unrelated board with some old hag who said we shouldn't let immigrants into the country because they're diluting Canadian culture, because they don't contribute anything and are taking over the country (I'm paraphrasing, but sadly not exaggerating). Turns out she was an immigrant herself, came from the UK when she was younger but because she was British "that made her more Canadian".
That being said... my brother's girlfriend was leaving work (she works in an office directly across the street from PacMall), got hit by some old asian guy making an improper turn who immediately called his insurance and yelled at her for half an hour, and said it was all her fault and accusing her of not even knowing how to drive, not knowing the rules of the road, etc. Of course he was found 100% at fault.
I used to hang out this guy. He moved to Brampton and after 2 yrs, hes changed. I consider him an *******. Basically living there change his personality. He no longer has courtesy and manner. Basically became a selfish brick.
After that, i avoid hanging out with him And i know couple friends also dont like to hang out with him. His new friends are.... (not being racist or anything) Indians.
1st everyone in Canada and America is an IMMIGRANT, except the NATIVE INDIANS, so unless you are a NATIVE, you are a IMMIGRANT TOO! moron!.
Brampton is not the worst, you think Toronto is bad, Mississauaga is bad, Brampton is bad? .... go live in Woodbridge, Richmond Hill, Markham etc, everyone thinks they own the road, your family and your life!
race, financial stability, or place has nothing to do with you being messed up, most people regardless of who what they are ...are messed up because of their weak selfish personalities.
This is why any experienced rider who knows his shiit FILTERS! i've never been rear ended because i never stop where there isn't a car already stopped behind me. You can't ride bikes like you drive cars, unless you want to die.
You see drivers driving properly being courteous, you slow down, indicate move past them respectfully, the rest of the drivers you drive around them like they drive, if they drive bending rules, you do the same, if you go agaisnt the driving of the public you will crash. If people are doing 140-150 on the highway don't do 100-120, get my point? I've had a cop friend tell me this as well, drive like how the majority of traffic is driving if you want to live to see another day.
never expect a cager to not hit you or trust he's a good driver, just like singers, artists, filmakers, there only a hand full of riders and drivers out there that will actually have the skill and talent to be safe around you most are not.
Don't waste your time, effort, or your emotions on this person, your experience has made you wiser! learn from it, and thank God you are phyzically okay, and neither did your bike sustain too much damage.
I know what happened to you was wrong, and as someone who defends right vs wrong, i have come to realise myself over time, that there just too many f tards and too little people of good nature in this wolrd these days to even make a difference.
The best you can do for yourself, is to just let it go and count your good graces, sooner then later this bubble of greed, selfishness, no care for others, is going to explode, things can't go on like this forever, nature will extint such people off the face of the earth.
Don't become misserable, eager to get back at them etc... the more you let things go, the more happy you'll become, and less things like this will happen to you. Karma will get the BIiitch 10 fold, no one can escape crooked ness, everyone has to pay one way or another, you'll only bring more positive fortune towards you once you start forgiving, forgeting, and moving on fast, legally its your right to get back at her, but it will not make you any happier, remember as long as your are alive and well, all is good.
When someone implies "IMMIGRANT" what they really mean is, someone who is not WHITE of the British, Scottish, Norweigen European decent ect. Its actually an unofficiallly used hate word used by non coloured people towards all colour types of people in Canada.
Basically remove that word immigrant and replace it with, black, brown, indian, etc thats what it actually means here in Canada.
Truth is Immigrants who are here because they worked hard to get in, followed the rules and obligations of Canada to get in, and become citizens, regardless of their lack of understanding of our culture and practices and norms, are better in my book any day then the IMMIGRANTS who came from the british empire to both usa and canada, with their guns blazing and killing the natives and taking over shiiit.
So imo, to those british immigrants living here who think they are Canadians, just think what if these immigrants you hate so much, came with guns, air ships, and missiles and took over Canada and wiped you off the MAP like you did the natives?
and btw since people like that hate immigrants so much, just so they know who's protecting their white ***, one of the TOP GUNS of the is a Pakistani Canadian Royal Canadian Air Force Captain, a Brown/Immigrant Citizen, he's the best fire fighter Canada has/had and now trains top fighter pilots from Canada all over the world and has down missions in Afghanistan etc.
so yea stop complaining in other words shiit could be much worse, all these immigrants really need is to be educated, which is the reponsibility of the canadian government!
tell them you cannot enter or live here, without learning, respecting and being part of our customs and norms, that would solve the domestic issues of the Canadian immigrants Canadian culter shift if its such a BIG deal.
Driving has nothing to do with race or being an immigrant, if rossi came here, he'd be an immigrant who whipes out all riders in Canada, or Shumacher, they would tell you how bad our Canadian gorvernment training system is not the immigrants, btw did you know the last time the MTO and drivers testing and facilites were updated, were in 1976. You are all quarelling over rules and laws and science based from 1976! the last time it was updated ever.
I don't know how old you are, but i doubt Brampton changed your friend, your friend was proabaly an assshole from the start, he just needed to hang out with other asssholes for him to let his true self out, remember alot of people don't say what they are thinking, so if he was friends with then nice people an a hole would prabably fake it and act nice around nice people.
If you haven't noticed ALL of GTA has pricks and bittches, you must not get around much, these days no one gives a shiit anout no one, everyone one wants something from someone, just saying. Back in our parents days our parents would have 3-4 best friends, someone you could rely on for life, these days you'd be lucky to have one or two, let alone the "friends" that you have and hang out with that are really not friends, but opportunists.
life is not easy, learn to do your own thing, be your own boss, and maybe you'll have a good life in this generation.

Wow. Things escalated quickly here. I have seen biking forums and they are like brothers. Moreover, they treat others with respect because they know what is respect. It is OK to be angry but not OK to drag non-biking issues in the discussions. And it is not OK at all to have a racially discriminating discussion.
I am going to remain away from any racial discussion but this makes me sad. I always thoughts bikers are best people and that includes respecting others even if they don't. I have been a biker and I don't feel at (biking) home on this forum today.

A lot of 'em seem to like Rob Ford too, the king of ragers.
I can see The Star headline now, "Rob Ford causes road rage. Unfit to be mayor of Toronto."
I think the use of immigrant has been interpreted very very in a very specific way here...taken only in a negative way towards a specific ehtnicity/colour...
it's not - it's more of hte culture in question i think...
I think what most are getting at, including myself are the ethnic groups that clique to their own kind and ways, and dont' make much of an effort to integrate into the community/'world' they live in now. IE 'not canadian'.
Example - so many hit and runs happen in pakistan where half of my family is from and many reside. Infact, i have an uncle that's in a vegetative state due to motorcyclist hitting him and running. its' just the way it is down there....these 'values' are packed in their luggage along with many of their engrained values/habits. .
I'm indian/filipino so i'm twice the immigrant most of you are...
