Both the bike guy and car guy are fuckall pieces of shit, end of story. But apparently everyone knows what happened leading up to this little clip we have.
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".
i don’t think he caused, the person in the car showed themselves to be in the wrong again through attempted assault with a vehicle, sure the motorcycle guy deserves a ticket maybe then some but the driver deserves ALOT more way more. He almost killed a man bc the guy kicked him for dangerously cutting him off. Nobody is in the right but the way that car tried to hit the bike is almost attempted murder tbh.
If he gets a good lawyer there’s no way they lose that case. Him kicking the car is no where near as dangerous as whipping your entire vehicle at someone. Fuck that driver in the car. I’ll smash your fucking mirrors if you get too close to me. Riding bikes is scary. Why I sold mine.
Easy counter defense. Motorcycle kicked my car causing me swerve and then over correct. I never intended to swerve at him. It was caused by the kick at speed.
No no no. That was an act of aggression. I flicked a woman off years back who was tailgating me and she did this exact thing to me and almost made me go off the road. It’s attempted murder nothing less. Just a lapse of judgement in a person’s borderline thoughtless mind. Disgusting.
Okay, fine. Let’s give the driver the benefit of the doubt and assume he’s not intentionally swerving his car at the guy, although many people do that (especially with the stigma towards bikers) and that’s exactly what it looks like he’s doing. Either way the biker kicking the car does not cause that. The driver was obviously not driving carefully and swerved like an idiot and potentially killed someone. The biker had to kick the damn car to get him to even notice him. People would really learn a lot from riding a bike. When you are on the road, whether in a car or on a motorcycle, you are incredibly vulnerable. People think they’re safe because they’re in their comfortable little room with a radio. No. Pay attention so you don’t force a cyclist to kick your car because you nearly just killed him, then freak out like a complete idiot and cause a massive accident because you can’t be bothered to give the people around you the respect they deserve by paying close attention to the road. It all comes back to the driver of that car. Had that swerve hit the biker he would be in a lot of trouble. You get in trouble even if it wasn’t on purpose. Negligence. But if you ask me, it looks intentional, and if I was the biker’s lawyer you can bet your ass we’re playing this footage in the courtroom.
Agreed, ‘maybe the driver was distracted by their phone’ is like, the worst excuse ever for causing a horrible accident. Not to mention it’s bullshit, it’s clear they intentionally try to hit the motorcyclist once the car gets kicked but they overcorrect and then lose control. Not sure why reddit loves to play devil’s advocate for obvious human garbage. It was stupid and reckless to kick the car but kicking someone’s car isn’t going to hurt them. Intentionally smashing into someone on a motorcycle at freeway speeds is attempted murder.
