Don't feel bad fella! We can't change the past - but we can learn from it! Cause and effect. You've saved a family a lot of grief. Further up the road they could have killed someone 'concentrating' on their phone. Maybe they were on their way to Stourbridge? Maybe you've saved Mister Pikey? The Cosmos thanks you! ;)

There's a big difference between shouting "get off your phone" than actually snatching it off them .

I agree with Pikey, it could have caused the whole incident to have escalated into a dangerous situation... The driver could easily claim that the phone was in a holder and you were trying to steal it. If he got your registration you could be in trouble if they are thick skinned or stupid enough to try it on.

You could get a visit from the boys in blue, or his mates

Let alone what it could have turned into, you are lucky he did not take your number and report this. You committed a criminal act.

I can understand your frustration and anger, but you were probably a little on the OTT side. The driver will certainly be hating bikers now. Especially when you consider he might have very important info and contacts stored on his phone all of which is now lost.

See both sides.

And still laughing. ;)

Well done, but you could get well done. Risky strategy from the cost:benefit standpoint. :ugeek:


Next time, when the lights change, ride off in the other direction... :twisted:
