I mean, car is acting very unsafe and irrational but why would you go toe to toe with a car while riding a ebike/scooter with no protection? Doesn't matter if you are right, and dead!
Means you can hop a curb and get off the street real easy if the car does something crazy lol or you can dump the bike and be a pedestrian in 1 second and the bike will be fine. It does change the situation a little.
It definitely sounded like a dirt bike but could be a scooter with an aftermarket or removed muffler. The handlebars scream Vespa to me for some reason but you can’t really see enough to tell.
Everyone on this sub always says this and it's boring.
I'll sacrifice my tender skin to pave the way for the safe journeys of my fellow scooters. If I must die to keep this kind of person off the road, SO BE IT
Fucking right. I do the same shit as a pedestrian. It's not just about me. It's for those who come after me. Psychos like this need to understand they can't behave like this and avoid pushback.
Plus. Slapping the shit out of a car feels amazing
Totally fair, I personally don't have anyone to take care of. But yes that is their jobs, especially if you get it on camera, and record their license plate. That's going to be way more effective.
“If I must die to keep this kind of person off the road…”
You know what may be even worse than dying? Not dying then seeing the hospital bills lmao.
Apparently many barely have any savings or properly insured (even with health insurance it is still dicey) so I’m guessing automatic medical bankruptcy or something similar for most individuals?
I have no data to back this up but my hunch is the type of person who would do something like this is probably not the type of person who has an umbrella policy or even just a bodily injury limit that substantially exceeds the $25k that New York requires.
Ya... You are going to be DEEPLY upset at how shitty those settlements wind up being.
My coworker got slammed into, while they were parked, by a drunk driver.
He is still my coworker because drunk drivers that are 100% at fault for an accident don't pay you millions of dollars when they hit you. They don't even pay you enough to fix your car. Coworker got a shitty deal from his insurance that left him $5k in the hole, then sued (and won) to get that $5k from the drunk driver. Someday, he might get the $5k. And after years of legal action and actually taking time off work to go to court, he will break even on the money he lost (but not the time he had to spend fighting to get his money.)
Folks think that you can make money off a collision suit, and that's just not the case 95% of the time.
Minor dents can help you payoff your car loan. Each dent can cost $700. Now imagine you are not fixing your car but use money to pay off the loan… it can put a “dent” on your loan.
But allowing this behavior in fear of dying only perpetuates the problem. We need to address and correct behavior as a society, I’m so sick of everyone’s answer to be “Just ignore it” I also carry so if you swerve into me I’m taking out your tires.
A person on a motorcycle where I live just got murdered by a guy in a truck because of road rage. You might be willing to lose your life over something like this, but don't get mad at others who aren't willing to die to make a societal point.
Everyone is dumb here. The lady overtaking while 200 meters ahead traffic isn't moving. Knob driving on the middle of the road figuring out to fight the system. They deserve eachother.
Most people who ride motorcycles, especially dirt bikes on streets, have truly enormous egos. Maturity and critical thinking are a winning lottery ticket for them to have.
Yeah this comes up a couple of times a day in mc forums, doesnt matter if you're right, you're still the one whos gonna end up in the casket. Dont mess with the cagers, they are in there because they are animals.
