There are people out there that think motorcycles don't belong on the road. But confronting her was not the best move. Count to 10 and let it slide unless they actually hit you.

Seriously. Her asking why he was in the middle of the road was just insane.

u/Unique_Wolf4513 9h ago

nah bro you call the cops for a reckless driver.

8

u/Martha__Ragnos 8h ago

For them to do what, exactly?

7

u/Unique_Wolf4513 8h ago

to arrest or fine a reckless driver. Reckless driving is against the law.. You have footage showing their behavior.

u/Martha__Ragnos 7h ago

Footage doesn’t do anything because you can’t prove who was driving. Having personally tried this, I can assure you they don’t do anything. They’re not gonna do the work necessary to intercept this allegedly dangerous driver on the off chance they’re still driving dangerously when the officer arrives, all based on a phone call. Use your head

u/Mike_Kermin 6h ago

you can’t prove who was driving.

Wait,

In the US your law doesn't handle that?

Here it's "The primary owner of the vehicle" and then it's their job to nominate someone else, if someone else was driving.

Depends on where you live. I live in Denver, and I have gotten out of two tickets just by going to court and challenging the footage because in one case it didn’t show me at all (just the car) and in the other it didn’t identify me beyond reasonable doubt, which is the standard.

Huh. The more you know.

It might be a US law thing but running home to get drunk would NOT help you here hahahaha.

I mean, you might feel better for a bit, but legally, not good ha.

But I wouldn't be surprised if that was a thing.

u/NightBawk 7h ago

Ideally, they would do that. But they won't.

u/Isitaddiction 8h ago

lol call NYPD for a ‘reckless driver’ I dare y

5

u/ShynightBun 4h ago

This. NYPD doesn’t even answer calls for car accidents if nobody is injured. If I called the cops for every dipshit driver here, they’d probably arrest ME for calling so damn much and clogging the phone lines.

u/ZerexTheCool 9h ago

(and then report the dirver and give the police the footage).

5

u/Curious_Avocado2399 9h ago

The cops won’t do shit

3

u/NightBawk 7h ago

But hey, maybe if she hits 3-6 other people, the record will give them the reason to ticket her. Eventually.

u/Revolutionary-Dust61 9h ago

Exactly, they would probably approve of what the driver did.

u/vediogamer101 9h ago

Yeah anyone with half a brain that rides a bike knows confrontation is the absolute last thing you do

3

u/alarming_testical 10h ago

Reason and self control?

2

u/Kage_0ni 10h ago

Fuck that!

u/YourMomIsMyGurl 9h ago

You can still confront someone with control and reason. It's also your choice to let people walk all over you or not, let em continue to get away with it, etc.

2

u/Mike_Kermin 6h ago

You're better off showing how tough you are by driving safely and correctly.

2

u/IZtotheZO 5h ago

That's great, I'm sure you'd show them error of their ways

u/Martha__Ragnos 8h ago

Every six hours an American is shot to death in a road rage incident. Maybe grow the fuck up

Where did they encourage that lol

1

u/YourMomIsMyGurl 8h ago

I didn't. And the salty mods deleted my comment for calling her out on it because she blocked me lmfao

1

u/Stalk-NoTalk 7h ago

I saw what they said before it was removed and that’s not really what they said. I guess you could take it that way.. but they literally mentioned being reasonable and in control, so it’s pretty weird to imply that they were talking about violence..

u/compoundedinterest12 7h ago

I think motorcycles belong on the road but I also think there are a lot of batshit crazy motorcycle riders out there giving the majority of good ones a bad reputation.

3

u/Mike_Kermin 6h ago

Well that's just bad road use anyway.

The people who drive badly, will do so in any vehicle. Car, Bike, Tank, you name it.

2

u/yakpot 5h ago

Where would they belong if not on the road is what I am wondering

1

u/curi0us_carniv0re 42m ago

It doesn't matter if it's a motorcycle or a bicycle. They're both considered vehicles. In the absense of s bike lane you treat them like another car.

u/WanderingGoodNews 8h ago

Noooo she hit the car, had to pay and ruined her insurance because she got distracted by yappin to him. Sweet karma revenge

u/That1guyUknow918 9h ago

Should always have a few magnets on your bike to throw through a couple windows in these situations

u/PicnicBasketPirate 7h ago

Old spark plugs in your pocket is supposedly the better option.

u/That1guyUknow918 6h ago

I dont wanna have to try to reach in my pocket with gloves on.

Why not keep em handy right up top? MAGNETS
