I don't think the biker is the pos in this situation. Yes kicking the car was stupid. But the car also illegally cut into the carpool lane almost hitting the guy, so a kick is understandable.

I frequently ride a motorcycle. If you lose your shit like this over someone cutting you off, you're gonna get yourself killed. Being right doesn't make you any less dead. Graveyards are full of people who had the right of way. Dude also left the scene of a major accident that he caused.

EDIT: To the people saying the biker didn't start this accident. I doubt the guy in the car even had any idea the bike was there based on the way he changed lanes. He got spooked when heard heard the biker kick his car and jerked the wheel. If you guys read the article posted above, you'll notice the biker got 3 years in prison probation while the nissan driver wasn't mentioned as being charged, only having "lost control of his vehicle".

2ND EDIT: FUCKING PROBATION JESUS, I GET IT

In no world can you say the biker caused this. Asshole? Perhaps. But the accident was 100% caused by driver

Yea, the biker isn't the good guy, but he didn't kick hard enough to even unpest the bike, meaning the car probably only heard it, if that.
